What is Aphasia? Aphasia
results from stroke or other brain insult. People with aphasia are
affected in speaking, understanding the speech of others, reading the

Speaking
of Aphasia, LLC is committed to therapy via specialized treatment techniques, education, training, and counseling - all in the service of people with
aphasia, and their partners. Speaking of Aphasia is
an aphasia therapy practice grounded in a "life participation
approach." We believe that people with aphasia can get back into life
even as they are recovering. Keeping the future on hold makes it harder
to live in the present. Our focus is on improving the quality of
communication, so that people with aphasia can have a better quality of
life. We are dedicated to aphasia therapy techniques that help people
move forward, but also permit the best possible function in the
present. We also believe that communication partners, professionals,
and the community can benefit from education, so that living with
aphasia is easier for everyone. Speaking of Aphasia is also able to
service people with other speech-language concerns; feel free to call
or email with any questions.
