Aphasia, Communication, & Growth ...
Hands Photo-Project

Students in AP1A Foundations of Photography and the Cabrillo Stroke and Disability Learning Center SPED210 Aphasia: Speech & Language students participated in a joint collaboration this semester at Cabrillo. The main focus of the project was to learn about communication methods such as spoken language, written words, and visual images. AP1A met the Aphasia students and got to share about each of their lives. Then we made photographs of the SPED210 student’s hands as an important form of communication such as body language and gesture. The hands also symbolize the shapes of flowers and the idea of constantly growing and persevering. In May, we had a pop-up gallery to celebrate the project!
