Dr. Audrey Holland Chats with our Members

May 13, 2020 By Debbie Yones

On Tuesday, May 12th, globally renowned aphasia expert, Dr. Audrey Holland, joined the Voices of Hope for Aphasia members online as a Special Mystery Guest speaker. She talked about how people have a special kind of resilience that others can learn from during this pandemic. She also talked about the power and flexibility we have discovered for online treatment options for aphasia, giving us the ability to reach more people with aphasia who may not have resources nearby.

Dr. Holland then spent 45 minutes answering questions from our members and sharing her knowledge and experience. Questions ranged from:

  • tips on ways to improve aphasia during a lockdown,
  • how aphasia therapy has evolved over the years,
  • the ways positive thinking can impact aphasia, and
  • ways in which we can help aphasia service providers (SLPs, aphasia centers, etc) expand and have more impact.

The video of the Zoom session with Dr. Holland is available here:
