In 2015 Aphasia Access produced a series of webinars and educational videos. These videos are now offered as part of a library of resources to:
● Inform SLPs, healthcare providers and primary care givers, sharing new tools they can use immediately ● Educate people with aphasia, along with their families ● Inspire the broader community so that they will become advocates for communication access
If you are looking for a video to play at your next staff training session, or need a tool to share with other members of your local healthcare community to better educate them about aphasia, look no further. Videos are available under a Creative Commons license. You can use these in anyway helpful to your work - just credit Aphasia Access and please do not edit.

These are great as refreshers, as on-boarding resources for new staff members, as tools to educate families with a recent aphasia diagnosis or to educate key stakeholders in your community, including Boards of Directors.
