| Annotation | Aphasia is a communication impairment that commonly follows stroke, and affects people's ability to talk, understand, read and write. Aphasia seems to be poorly understood and relatively unrecognised - perhaps because it is invisible - and people with the condition describe being overlooked. These findings report on a study by Susie Parr, and published for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) by Pavilion as "Living with severe aphasia: the experience of communication impairment after stroke". The findings outline conclusions reached with regard to the gap between needs and provision for people with aphasia; difficulties in supporting communication; and the lack of choice, control and engagement.
