To Talkagain UM program helps patients with aphasia By Erika Fredrickson In December 2012, Jake Jacobsen had a stroke that left him with little ability to communicate. The 70-year- old retired smokejumper was hospitalized for 75 days and eventually diagnosed with aphasia. Aphasia, ancient Greek for “speechlessness,” is a language disorder caused by damage to the language centers of the brain. In Jacobsen’s case, he couldn’t express himself verbally, and he couldn’t understand what other people said to him. But because aphasia doesn’t affect intelligence, Jacobsen was still quite aware of the world around him. He was the same person as before, but he was trapped inside his own body. Jake’s wife, Kristi, was terrified. Jake went through rehabilitation at the hospital, but eventually they were told there was nothing more they could do for him. It appeared to be a hopeless situation – that is until a speech therapist at the rehab center suggested the couple look into a new, intensive therapy program at UM. And so in June 2013, Jake and Kristi met with clinicians at UM’s Big Sky Aphasia Program. “I had never heard of it,” Kristi says. “But when we got there, they spent a fair amount of time with us. They did a lot of testing with Jake and said he was a perfect candidate for this program. We started regular therapy at BSAP in the fall of 2013.” As Jake began spending time in the therapy program, words came back to him. Little by little, Kristi saw the communication barrier begin to crumble. “When someone you love has this happen to them, you just want to do everything you can,” Kristi says. “I couldn’t accept the, ‘Oh, he’s not going to get any better.’ Well, I just don’t accept that. And I’m glad I didn’t.” Jake Jacobsen, shown here working with UM graduate student Calley Bosch, participates in UM’s Big Sky Aphasia Program while his wife, Kristi, looks on.
