Swedish patient Deonna Keiser is an artist who is living with the impacts of speech aphasia and apraxia as a result of a stroke. While Deonna is able to understand all spoken language, she sometimes has trouble formulating the words to speak. With the help of her dear friend Lisa Naser, and through her art, Deonna is able to communicate her day-to-day and emotional experiences. Many stroke survivors experience aphasia and apraxia. We are grateful to Deonna and Lisa for sharing their story with us.
