Episode 3: Group Discussion, Challenges of Restaurants and Fast Food

In this episode of Stories of Aphasia, we take on a different setting. A group of University of Kentucky Aphasia Lab members sit and discuss their favorite places to eat in Lexington, Kentucky. Sharing their go-to breakfast, lunch, and dinner spots. They touch on the topic of the challenges they face and navigate when being out in public. It can not only be complicated, but raise anxiety and fear when doing tasks that seem may seem mundane. This episode is lively and fun, a new take on Stories of Aphasia's usual format!
