This keynote is a deeply personal story about love, caregiving and the brain’s ability to reinvent itself after catastrophic injury. Diane Ackerman shares her husband’s stroke and aphasia, the surreal early days of recovery, and the creative, highly individualized methods she used to help him re-learn language and rebuild a life. Participants gain an intimate look at neuroplasticity, resilience, and the emotional transformation of long-term caregiving, illuminated with humor, devotion and hard-won insight.
