Even More Suspect Speaking (The Suspect Speaker Series, #3) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Suspect Speaker Series comprises short stories about people with aphasia, the loss of a previously held ability to speak or understand spoken or written language, due to disease or brain injury.

The third in the series, Even More Suspect Speaking has seven short stories, a group of five connected short stories and poems.

The short stories have two versions:

The "A" versions has shorter sentences and more gaps perfect for people with aphasia.

The "B" version is fuller. It has more descriptive prose perfect for carers and family members who have an acquaintance with aphasia and what it means.

Highly recommended for readers with aphasia and their supporters and care partners.
Darlene Williamson, MA, CCC-SLP, President of National Aphasia Association (USA)

...different journeys and experiences that people have, in such a rich and compelling way...
Professor Suzanne C Purdy, The University of Auckland

Autorenporträt

James Stephens

James is a New Zealander. He was a teacher, musician and music director, a journalist and event manager as well as a husband, father and grandfather. He was a voracious reader, a fluent writer and confident speaker.

In 2015, he suffered a hemiparesis, a middle cerebral artery territory infarct.

In a word, a stroke.

He collapsed, paralysed on his right side, and couldn't speak or write. The hospital intervention was rapid and his limbs were free but his speech was absent.

He had/has aphasia.

Aphasia is the loss of a previously held ability to articulate ideas or comprehend spoken or written language, resulting from damage to the brain caused by injury or disease in this case, a stroke.

He has semi-recovered with expert therapists in speech, music and eurhythmy.

He has a positive and optimistic outlook, electing to view his stroke as a 'stroke of luck'.

"My aphasia forced me to look at my life differently and to re-invent myself. Now, I am an author apparently!"
