March 31, 2021
Debby Wells
Season: 2 - Episode: 5
After three days, Jon Almada came into this world, breaking his mother's pelvis bones and sustaining brain injuries that left him with Induced **Aphasia.Doctors wanted to institutionalize Jon, but his parents, with his grandfather a Neurologist, would not listen and never gave up on him. His mother and grandfather devised therapies, stimulating activities and environments, and soon, Jon was walking and finally began to talk.
What is the kid with Aphasia doing now? Jon worked for 32 years in the defense industry. After he retired, he became a broadcaster of his radio program on live streams and hosts a paranormal themed show, "SoulStreamRadio." Jon is also a writer with a series of books being released this year. What would those doctors have to say now?
Not bad for a kid who couldn't walk or talk, thanks to his parents, grandfather, the early intervention and therapies they devised, and never giving up.
**Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is always due to injury to the brain-most commonly from a stroke, particularly in older individuals. But brain injuries resulting in aphasia may also arise from head trauma, from brain tumors, or from infections.
