💙 JUNE IS APHASIA AWARENESS MONTH: Did you know that friends matter MORE after aphasia? But many friends pull away. They don't understand aphasia. They don't know how to help. 😔 Do you have a friend with aphasia?

Here's the truth: Your friend with aphasia is still the SAME amazing person! 🌟

How to stay connected:

✅ Remember: Aphasia affects language, NOT intelligence
✅ Try video calls instead of texting
✅ Be patient (this means everything!)
✅ Small kindnesses make big differences

Did you know? 1 in 3 stroke survivors has aphasia. That's millions of people worldwide.

At The Aphasia Recovery Connection, our nonprofit works to end the isolation through community, hope, and caring support. 💜

👉 TAKE ACTION:

• Share to spread awareness

The bodies of people with Down syndrome regulate body temperature differently compared to people without Down syndrome. This can put them at a greater risk of overheating when they exercise, are in a warm room, or are outside in hot weather. As we enter the warmer summer months, it is important to keep this in mind. People with Down syndrome may need to drink more water, take more breaks, or move to a cooler place. Brian Chicoine, MD, shares more information on temperature regulation in people with Down syndrome in the article linked below.
