John Sams lives in Apex with his lovely wife, Phyllis, and enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren. John is a retired salesman, a talented artist, and a gardener.
John was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) four years ago with his primary deficit being language difficulties. He shares that there was not a time-specific event that he can pinpoint when his language became more difficult. He is happy to be associated with TAP because it provides opportunities to practice conversation with others and implement the skills learned in speech therapy in a community-setting. John attends the virtual TAPLinks/PPA Group on Wednesdays with his wife and the virtual TAP into the Bible group, as well as the in-person Conversation and Connections group. John wants other people to know that the more you do, the more opportunities you have to improve!
