Concept

Aphasia is language disorder that affects communication, and can sometimes change the dynamics of the conversation.

ÅbenSnak, a sub-brand for the stroke association Hjernesagen, is a website with aphasia-friendly digital conversation cards that support communication between relatives and people with aphasia. Designed to make it easier to be together and talk about difficult topics.

Communication Strategy

When a life-changing event happen the primary caregiver might forget to look after themselves. With the question “When have you last talked about your future/dreams/feeling?” we check-in on the relative and give them a tool to fulfil their needs of communication now that aphasia is a part of the family’s life.

The relatives are primary responsible for communication, so the programs value must speak to them.
