Enter 2014 and my desire to spend more time in my life in service to others. Couple this with a healthcare background and a friendship with Maura Silverman, and a new TAP volunteer was born! I intended to help with administrative tasks, organize and clean the office, and assist in fundraising events. I have done these things, but more importantly, I became involved with TAP clients and providers. I have learned that aphasia has no gender, color, or race. It affects the patient, their families, and providers. I have seen the challenges that aphasia presents, but have also witnessed firsthand how the people and resources at TAP improve the health, communication, and quality of life of its clients.
