Don't be afraid, knowledge is power. Learn how to communicate!

As you may have come across in your life, many people are affected physically, emotionally, and mentally to such an extent that their speech or ability to communicate is compromised.  I'm sure we've all been there...we'e fascinated but we're not sure how to approach this person, even if they are a good friend.  Here are some basic tips from one girl who suffered a sort of stroke from a car accident and now suffers from aphasia, to help when dealing with someone with her specific issue.

If you're not sure how to approach someone with a specific disease, problem, issue, or occurrence, YOUTUBE it...there are plenty of people out there who are happy to help who know first-hand how to handle the situation.  Learning will set both you and the other person at ease and make your communication both possible and pleasant!  The more you know... :)
