My stroke ended my career. It ended my social life. People, people with phasia tend to feel isolated. That's then to hide away.

I feel self-conscious. I used to love to sing and by joining the aphasia choir I can sing again.

It's I and have enjoyed it a lot. I wish it wouldn't come to an end.

That's Liz Story three years ago at the age of 43 she had Vermont, which is comprised of people like Liz,

people who have had strokes or traumatic brain injuries and are living

with expressive aphasia or difficulty talking or using language. Their

thoughts and ideas are intact, but the language, the talking gets stuck.

But music mostly originates in the undamaged hemisphere of the brain.

People with aphasia can often sing. Even people who are entirely nonverbal

are sometimes fluent singers. This choir was founded in 2014 by Karen McFeter

Leary, who is a singer-songwriter and a former speech-language

pathologist.

It started out with 11-stroke survivors and now they are over 50 strong.
