Expressive Aphasia - Sarah Scott - Teenage Stroke Survivor

Uploaded on Feb 28, 2010

Sarah had an unexpected ischemic stroke when she was 18. She now suffers from aphasia, a communication disorder.

Over million people in the USA have aphasia, and over 350 thousand in the UK.

Every 11 minutes, in the UK, 3 people will have a stroke. One of them will have aphasia.

More young people are suffering strokes. The probable reason for Sarah's stroke was a PFO, a hole in the heart. This was only discovered after the stroke, when Sarah had a barrage of tests to try to find the cause. The hole was closed using an amplatzer device, in November 2009.

We hope that this video might help other young people in a similar situation. I spent hours and hours online, looking for support and answers in the darkest days when Sarah was in hospital.

Aphasia (or dysphasia) is a communication difficulty caused by brain damage. Most people who have aphasia have had a stroke, but it can also occur from tumours, infection and progressive diseases like motor neuron disease (ALS).

There are different types of aphasia like Wernicke's, Broca's. Conduction, Anomic and Global Aphasia which relates to the part of the brain that’s damaged. The term is also a descriptor of whether you lose your capacity to understand speech, talk, read and/or write. There are also different severity types, Global being the most severe as it affects all modes of written and verbal communication. However there is one commonality, the person with aphasia's frustration at not being able to communicate in the way they used to.

This video on “Aphasia – life without words” was made by a Speech Pathologist and aims to take you into the world of a person with aphasia – a young mother who struggles to do everyday things. How does she shop? Eat at a café? Spend time with friends? This video also shows real life examples of supports and treatment options anyone can put in place, once they have been shown how.

Millions of people suffer from this condition, its time they had a voice, it is time people understood aphasia.
