<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Hi all, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">You are invited to the next ISL Brown Bag to hear Dr. Thomas G. Broussard Jr., Ph.D., speak on aphasia and his own recovery from speech loss following a stroke.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Broussard was associate dean of Admissions & Career Services at The Heller School at Brandeis University until his stroke in 2011. He could not read, write or speak well but kept a 500-page diary. He “wrote” his
diary using graphs, charts, and metaphorical drawings with text that didn’t make any sense.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> </span></span><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Broussard regained his language and wrote the first three volumes of the Stroke Diary series: “Stroke Diary, A Primer for Aphasia Therapy,” “Stroke Diary, The Secret of Aphasia Recovery,” and “Stroke Diary, Just
So Stories, How Aphasia Got Its Language Back” (Gold 2018 FAPA President’s Book Award.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">At the ISL Brown Bag, at noon March 10 in Room A211 in the Psychology Department Building, he will discuss the process of recovery and how our brains learn from experience-dependent neural plasticity.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p2"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Broussard and his company, Stroke Educator Inc., are conducting a national “Aphasia Awareness” campaign to educate people about stroke and aphasia, an impairment of language that is often the result of a stroke.
The campaign is in its fifth year, with more than 200 presentations at 25 states so far.
