<p>It is with great pleasure that the National Aphasia Association makes this book on caregiving available to the aphasia community. It is our mission to serve families living with aphasia, with an emphasis on the word family. We know that aphasia affects the whole family, indeed, the person’s whole sphere of influence. When an individual experiences a stroke or other brain trauma that leads to aphasia, life changes in an instant.We recognize that the road to a future with aphasia can be a rocky one, with many twists and turns. Aphasia is a life-long condition. No one is prepared for all the adaptations that will need to be made. It is our intent that this book will provide some help navigating the path which leads to a “new normal.” This document was prepared by the NAA team and reviewed by caregivers who gave us their expert input. Not all the information will apply to every family and not every family will be in a position to use all of the suggestions. Take from it what you find most helpful and what makes the most sense foryour situation.Most importantly, this should be a dynamic book. We’ve compiled our thoughts, but you’ll see in the final chapter that we welcome your thoughts. Please use the linked form in the final chapter to give us your helpful hints and suggestions. If you share what worked best for you, we can include the information in the next version to provide a much more comprehensive guide for all caregivers.The NAA has a proud history of service to the aphasia community. We hope you enjoy this latest initiative, we hope you share the information, and we hope you continue to engage with and support the NAA.</p>
