Ep2: Aphasia: Ken's Experience

*Note: this episode was recorded in December 2023 when The College of St. Rose in Albany, NY, USA, had just announced it was closing.*

In the conversation: Jesse, Ken and Melissa Capo, speech/language pathologist.

Jesse interviews Ken about his experience with aphasia (an acquired communication disorder that can result from brain injury including stroke). Ken describes strategies that work for him and assures listeners that "anybody that says it doesn't get better is lying, cause it does." He also describes the importance of being comfortable in your own skin.
