We asked our members, “Why do you want to be part of CHAT Society?’
Brittani – Board member, CHAT Society
I want to help improve the lives of individuals experiencing communication difficulties in Edmonton.
As a Speech-Language Pathologist who works with adults, I think there needs to be more services for those experiencing these challenges, especially more services providing social support.
This year I got to attend Alberta Aphasia Camp with Daralynn, the founder of CHAT, as she and I often work together to run education sessions about communication rights.
At camp I got to see the courage, kindness and perseverance the people who experience aphasia and their families go through daily, and I also saw the amazing benefits of a supportive social environment.
This is what inspired me to be part of a group that seeks to improve the lives of individuals experiencing communication difficulties.
