Why Aphasia Rocks?

When I first started with our new technology company, a smaller company merged with a larger company. During our first meeting, the executives from the “new” company always talking like all of their leaders were “rock-stars.” Many of us who were hardworking figured we were outstanding, but people did not recognize us as “rock-stars.” It became a joke from those in the “smaller” company.

 

That is why I developed with Aphasia Rocks. We were those who knew that it would all of us with Aphasia be more than just outstanding based on our difficulties.

 

And that is why we are all “Aphasia Rocks.”
