Cognitive Linguistics Impairments
Cognitive linguistic impairments are more common than you would think, often affecting people with right brain injuries or those who suffer from Alzheimer's, dementia, multiple sclerosis, or have suffered a stroke.

This may result in individuals being unaware of food on the left half of their plate, unaware of people to their left, and in extreme cases, unaware of the presence of their left arm.

Host of The Wizard of Eyes, Dr. Robert Abel, welcomes the exceptional speech-language pathologist and owner of AccSense Accent, Natalie Lutz, to share her background and personal journey of working people with cognitive linguistics impairments.
