Aphasia: Hope Is a Four-Letter Word
Carl McIntyre
Sunday, April 29, 8:00 – 9:30 am
Aphasia is the heartfelt true story of Carl McIntyre, who struggles against overwhelming odds to redefine his life after suffering a massive stroke at age 44 and losing his ability to read, write, and talk. The life-affirming film provides hope and inspiration not only to stroke survivors and their families, but also to anyone who has struggled to meet life's daunting and ever-changing challenges.
AANN was the first organization to sell Carl's DVD at the meeting. AANN was only able to sell the popular DVD at conference, but you're invited to order copies of Aphasia through Amazon.com.
