Use a Homemade Picture Book to Communicate With Your Aphasic Parent

Aphasia can be one of the more maddening complications of stroke. If your parent is struggling to communicate, having him point at pictures or photos can save you both a lot of frustration. Help your parent create a book featuring pictures and photos of loved ones, caregivers, and often-used objects like a water glass. Not only will this book help him communicate, but making it together can be an enriching experience for you both.
