Bill Swartley lives in Apex with his wonderful wife, Kay. He is a retired forest hydrologist and one of the biggest Penn State fans out there!
Bill was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) in 2021. He shares that he has learned effective strategies from other TAP members to improve his ability to communicate with his loved ones. Bill regularly attends the virtual TAPLinks/PPA Group on Wednesdays with his wife, as well as the in-person Conversation and Connections group on Fridays at the TAP Home Office. Bill wants other people with aphasia to continue to socialize and never stop having conversations with people.
