This week’s assignment is to read and apply Signed Language Communication Disorders to your work! This resource, created by Shelby Hill, M.S., CCC-SLP, QOM is an excellent explanation of how aphasia can impact signed languages (like ASL).

You’ll get answers to fascinating questions like:

*
How does aphasia present in people who use signed languages?

*
What grammatical markers are impacted by aphasia in ASL?

*
Can semantic or phonemic paraphasias be present with aphasia in ASL?
