Speech Therapy
Aphasia is a communication disability affecting speech, comprehension of spoken language, reading, writing and numbers. It is most commonly associated with stroke. It provides a forum for people with aphasia to meet and to share experience of living with aphasia. Participants are also involved in educating the community about aphasia. The group is facilitated by a speech-language therapist.
Communication
It is based on evidenced-based programmes for social communication after acquired brain injury. Clients also work towards developing confidence in public speaking.
