We asked our members, “Why do you want to be part of CHAT Society?”
Andrea – Board Member, CHAT Society
I want to help others with communication difficulties in all aspects of my life!
I work closely with people with communication difficulties as a Speech-Language Pathologist, and my dad has had aphasia for nearly 15 years after suffering a stroke.
Since I was young I’ve been learning different ways to help my dad get his message across and making sure people give him the support he requires.
As my education has increased in this area, and I’ve experienced Alberta aphasia camp and working with individuals after a brain injury or stroke, my passion has only grown to want to provide a more accessible world for people with communication difficulties.
When I was asked to join this group, it was an easy yes!
I look forward to getting to CHAT with all of you!
