Aphasia questions and answers

I used to be a taxi driver? Will I ever be able to drive again?

You may not be allowed to drive because of potential seizures and visual problems. However, many people who have had a stroke do get back to driving again. Debbie, who had her stroke in 1987 and has aphasia, passed her test after she had her stroke. Find out more in Debbie's story.

If you are able to drive, it may be possible to get your car adapted so that you can drive with just one hand and foot. There is more information about how to get back to driving in The Stroke and Aphasia Handbook.
