The Brooks Rehabilitation Aphasia Center is partnering with the Jacksonville Humane Society, allowing its members to read to animals, which is helping their condition improve. 🐶📖
Patients of the center are regaining their abilities to read and write with a dog — and a book.“I had a brain aneurism in 2018,” he said. “It can happen to anyone.”“Aphasia, a lot of times, is either due to a stroke, a brain aneurism, a brain tumor,” Morgan said. “You can get aphasia from a car accident, gunshot wound any type of etiology that affects the left side of your brain.”
Morgan says one way they help aphasia patients regain their words is by reading to animals at the Jacksonville Humane Society. “The research literature shows that by reading to the rescue animals, it calms them down and helps them to have a better appetite, and it helps them to relax in their new environment, and it helps our members with aphasia regain their words,” Morgan said.The National Aphasia Association estimates 2 million Americans are affected and nearly 180,000 get the disorder every year.Brooks Rehab says those struggling with aphasia can get better.
