Howard Blatt, stroke survivor who co-founded an aphasia support group, died at 88
Briefly

Blatt's creation of the Aphasia Community Group in the early 1980s was pivotal in offering support networks, activities, and companionship for individuals affected by aphasia.
The organization, founded in 1990 and now based at Boston University, has become a vital resource for those whose ability to communicate has been affected by strokes and brain injuries.
"Here are people that understand what I'm going through, and they know how I'm feeling," emphasized Mary Borelli, highlighting the emotional support and understanding provided by the Aphasia Community Group.
