Timothy (Tim) Coleman lives in Durham and loves to read comic books and play video games. He earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from North Carolina Central University (NCCU).
Tim experienced a hemorrhagic stroke in 2015 while in his 30s, which made talking very difficult for him. He is happy to say that TAP has improved his talking skills, particularly because he has been able to meet and converse with others also experiencing aphasia. Tim regularly attends two virtual groups (TAP into Movies and TAP into Memories). He encourages other people with aphasia to reach out to TAP so that they, too, can find specific groups they enjoy being a part of to rebuild their communication “competency”.
