Would you rather spend the night in a luxury hotel or camp in the most beautiful place in the world? How about having super strength or the ability to fly? Come join us for a fun round of “Would you rather” during this week’s Aphasia Social Hour!
This virtual Aphasia Social Hour is scheduled for 4 p.m. Thursday, November 5 via Zoom. Each person will be presented with two interesting options to pick from. Get ready for some fun and engaging conversation!
Who Should Attend an Aphasia Social Hour?

Once you enter your information on the Zoom registration page, you will receive a confirmation email with the link and directions on how to join.
In case you aren’t able to make this one, sign up for the social hour next week or a following week; they are typically scheduled for 4 p.m. each Thursday, with a different theme to get the conversation flowing.
Sign up for the Would You Rather…? social hour here: UMAP Social Hour Registration. Registration is free, but is required to access the event. Once you register, you will be automatically sent the log-in details.
What to Expect
Each social hour is typically 40-65 minutes long and includes interaction with others with aphasia as well as carepartners. It’s a great way to stay social and to practice communication skills in a low-pressure setting. The Would You Rather…? social hour is a free, voluntary session and is not therapy or offered in place of therapy. This is a planned series. We will host regular social gatherings, workshops, and Q&A sessions.
