 Tom Broussard – Aim High for Aphasia

Tom Broussard head shot (2).jpg (1).

Tom is a stroke survivor who is passionate about raising awareness of aphasia. He writes in recognition of World Stroke Day on October 29.

 This interview was just published about my work with Stroke and Aphasia Awareness with Flagler College (St. Augustine, FL) student journalists who conducted an interview about me and other people’s experience with aphasia.

 They created this short video regarding the Aim High for Aphasia awareness campaign and the need for more than the 8.8% of the country who are “aphasia aware” of aphasia as well as the health community and especially hospitals who rarely provide any information on their website about aphasia.

    NicoR,

    A very motivating story! This gives hope and helps to be strong and continue to fight the disease. A personal example is always very helpful and inspiring, I hope it'll motivate everyone who also has this problem.I recently finished my first work on this topic, with the writing part the service that I found on Writing Judge helped me. I wish not to lose hope and try to be strong in any situation.
