Mike and Elaine Adler founded the Adler Aphasia Center in 2003 after Mike suffered a stroke that left him with aphasia.
While there were many speech therapy options in the area, no program could help him adjust to living with aphasia. The Adlers researched speech pathology clinics around the world and uncovered several unique programs where people touched by aphasia were learning new ways to communicate. From there, the Center was born.
