The present is a case of a patient with aphasia as a direct consequence of a stroke. Both the nursing staff and the family physician had serious communication problems so a pictogram was designed to improve fluency between patient and health workers. After becoming familiar with it, it greatly facilitated the appropriate and correct two-way communication and health care safety.

Keywords : Stroke; Aphasia; Nonverbal Communication; Communication Barriers.
