Michael shares how he experienced an unexpected stroke at age 43, resulting in significant challenges across all areas of language—speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. While he has made tremendous progress, he’s honest that some difficulties persist today. He describes how TAP gave him a true sense of community and connection at a time when aphasia limited his social interactions outside of close friends and family. Michael joined various virtual groups for five months until his return to work.
