Jorge Salazar developed aphasia because of a brain tumor. Following his aphasia diagnosis, he had to retire from his job, making him realize the significant impact aphasia was having on his life.
Upon introduction to TAP by a speech therapist, Jorge started participating in both Spanish and English groups. He attests that TAP has been immensely beneficial, especially since he no longer has a job to attend, leaving his family as his primary communication circle. Recognizing the need to work on his speaking and writing skills, TAP groups provide him with the opportunity to practice. Jorge can see positive changes in both him and those around him at TAP groups.

Su terapista de lenguaje lo refirio a TAP y Jorge comenzó a participar en grupos tanto en español como en inglés. Él da fe de que TAP ha sido inmensamente beneficioso, especialmente porque ya no tiene un trabajo al que asistir, y su familia era lo unico que tenia como fuente de comunicación. TAP le brinda la oportunidad de practicar sus habilidades de expresion oral, escrita y de socializacion. Jorge reconoce que ha visto una gran mejoria y cambios positivos no tan solo en el, pero tambien en sus companeros de los grupos TAP.
