VIRTUAL APHASIA GROUP

If you live at a distance from our innovative programs but want to build your communication skills, or if you seek more opportunities to communicate directly from your home with other people with aphasia, our Virtual Aphasia Groups can help. Our weekly groups:

• strengthen your communication skills and give you practice with speaking
• address the challenges of living with aphasia
• introduce you to others with aphasia by providing you with an online community for support
• restore your self-esteem

Virtual Aphasia Group participants report improvement in communication skills, self-esteem and quality of life as a result of their participation.
