Aphasia Programs

Primary Progressive Aphasia

Research-based, individualized programs focused on maintaining communication and quality of life

Intensive Aphasia Rehabilitation

Give a boost to your recovery with focused programs using 1:1 speech therapy, technology, functional and social activities

Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Programs now available.

During your communication evaluation, we combine conversation with formal and informal assessments to look at:

  • WHAT is difficult,

  • WHY it's difficult,

  • HOW it's impacting living life (what can't the person do because of their condition).

Once we know those factors, then we work as a team to choose goals and develop a plan to help. 

What do we work on in the aphasia program?

Goals are individual, based on a person’s individual personal and work situation. We ask “What communication problems is the person having?” and base our goals on solving those problems. Therapy may address:

  • Word-finding

  • Understanding of Speech

  • Reading

  • Writing

  • Motor Speech

  • Non-verbal Communication set-up and training

  • Identification and training in use of compensatory strategies

  • Use of technology
