Aphasia Rehabilitation Expertise

Our extensive work with patients recovering from stroke or traumatic brain injury has developed our expertise in the treatment of aphasia, a communication disorder that impairs a person’s ability to process language. We understand the inability to communicate is frustrating, isolating, and can make everyday life extremely difficult.

Intensive aphasia therapy is a standard part of inpatient therapy, when it is appropriate for the patient's condition and needs.

Our intensive outpatient program centers on strengthening communication skills, auditory comprehension, verbal and written expression, and speech. Patients report benefiting from our care, but the real proof of our effectiveness is in the reconnection patients experience with family, friends, and their community.

Inpatient Aphasia Program

The focus of inpatient aphasia therapy is to help each patient maximize his or her functional communication skills, independence, and sense of well-being. Our intensive therapy helps patients build independence and skills to manage the many challenges of aphasia and our intpatient therapists are skilled at helping patients achieve the best outcomes.
