Co-constructing Stories: Supporting People with Aphasia in Meaning-Making and Moving Forward. Presentation by: Dr Katie A. Strong
Life changes like stroke and aphasia threaten our sense of identity and place people with aphasia at risk for mental health issues. This seminar will explore how clinicians can use stories to support people with aphasia in navigating who they are and will be. Literature linking identity and story will be reviewed. Evidence-based methods for story co-construction will be shared.
Dr. Katie Strong leads the Strong Story Lab at Central Michigan University.
