Aphasia Communication Groups
What are Aphasia Communication Groups?
The Aphasia Communication Groups offer Adler programming on a smaller scale than our full-service programs in Maywood, West Orange, and Toms River.
Participants learn effective communication strategies, make new social connections with other people who also have aphasia, and build their confidence and self-esteem. The Aphasia Communication Groups meet twice a month for two hours per session, and are facilitated by Adler-trained Speech Language Pathologists. These groups complement our comprehensive, center-based offerings. Explore our full-service aphasia programs to see which option is the best fit.
