Finding a job for Stroke or Brain Injury Survivors with Aphasia can be a challenging  and unique experience.  We spoke with 3 young persons with Aphasia who are at varying stages of returning to work. Each story reveals the array of challenges a person with Aphasia faces as they try to return to or enter the workforce. 

After a loved one has experienced a stroke or brain injury resulting in Aphasia, there is undoubtedly a huge change in the roles and dynamics of the relationship. There is often a huge shift in responsibility, most of which falls on the one who has become the caregiver. All of these changes likely result in a loss of intimacy – a loss of emotional and physical connection with that person. We as speech language pathologists should be playing a role in this conversation and should be able to support and facilitate conversation on this important topic that is often avoided. So how should we go about addressing this?

The National Aphasia Association (www.aphasia.org) recently introduced multiple new resources and groups for Persons with Aphasia. We listed them for you below. 

NEW! We recently added a variety of consultation services to our website. Consultations are for caregivers of a Person with Aphasia or Speech Language Pathologists. Book a consultation to discuss innovative treatment ideas, home practice activities, or activities from our most recent home practice resource, "Working Outside the Workbook." Consultations are booked directly online. If you're having trouble finding an opening that works for your schedule, please feel free to email us directly. 

If you are interested in TREATMENT with us, we continue to offer a FREE consultation for any clients interested in services. 

Our intensive therapy program is now available! We are providing sessions that are between 2-3 hours of therapy per day based on the client's preference. Each treatment plan is tailored to the client's individual needs and interests.
