She explains how valuable it has been to connect with others through TAP, emphasizing that every person’s experience with aphasia and recovery is unique. Michelle regularly attends the in-person Charlotte group on Thursdays. She emphasizes the importance of group opportunities, as they are a reminder that members “have aphasia together”.
