What a beautiful day to spread aphasia awareness and share resources at UPLIFT Resource Education Day in Lexington, SC! ☀️

Our SLP team (Sara, Mary, and Allison) enjoyed connecting with the community, sharing information about aphasia, and learning about new community resources.

Yesterday, we shared that more than 2 million people in the United States are living with aphasia.

Today, we're highlighting another important statistic: approximately 180,000 people acquire aphasia each year.

These numbers remind us that aphasia affects far more individuals and families than many people realize. 💙

Join us this Saturday at the UPLIFT Resource Education Day from 10-1 at First Baptist Church of Lexington! There will be great community resources, meaningful connections, support & encouragement, and a food truck onsite!
