Introduction
I am employed alongside Naturopathic Doctors, working in an administrative capacity where I handle tasks such as data entry, invoicing, product orders, managing inventory and communicating with patients. This role posed considerable challenges for me due to difficulties in understanding what others were saying. I have both aphasia and am Hard of Hearing. I often make it known to others about my situation so that we can achieve better mutual understanding and improved communication.
What are your favourite travel places?
These include Shannon Falls and Squamish in British Columbia, as well as various locations in Vancouver and throughout the province. I relish driving around in a peaceful state of mind. I often come across tranquil spots to unwind and reflect, especially in places that bring back memories of my mother. Among these, the countryside holds a special place in my heart, with its vibrant trees, serene lakes and oceans. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city to immerse myself in such scenery provides a meditative experience that I cherish.
What is aphasia?
Some children who struggle with learning to speak share similarities with adults who have aphasia. Individuals with aphasia can hear sounds, including voices, but these sounds may not always appear meaningful to them. People with aphasia acquire language much like children do, by breaking it down into smaller components and linking sounds with written symbols. Although I may not be personally acquainted with anyone who is both Deaf and has aphasia, it's important to note that aphasia can affect both Deaf and hearing individuals, from infants to seniors.
