Family members are also impacted, taking on multiple, new roles while learning to communicate with them. The Adler Aphasia Center is a haven for those diagnosed with aphasia and their families, fostering meaningful connections among individuals on similar journeys.
Aphasia is a language disorder typically caused by a stroke or brain injury that can affect one’s ability to speak, understand, read, or write. While someone with aphasia may have difficulty communicating, it does not affect their intellect.
You can compare having aphasia to being in a country where you don’t speak the language – you know what you want to say but you just can’t find the words.
The Adler Aphasia Center is the only long-term aphasia treatment center of its kind in New Jersey offering the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia.
This program helps people with aphasia regain conversational skills and re-engage in life.
