Stroke is the #1 cause of long-term disability.
1 in 3 stroke survivors will live out their lives with aphasia.
Aphasia affects approximately one in every 250 people in the Permian Basin.
Without adaptive environments like the Aphasia Center, those with aphasia report they only grasp 50% of any conversation.
Of those with aphasia, 72% are unable to return to work.
Aphasia is more common than cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease and muscular dystrophy.
View the 30-second PSA regional television stations use to increase awareness of aphasia and the Aphasia Center of West Texas.
