Aphasia Communication Clinic

Not Alone Aphasia Communication Group

1st and 3rd Friday of the month at 2:30 p.m.

The Not Alone Aphasia Communication Group is open to all people with aphasia.

The group applies the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia (LPAA), which is a consumer driven service delivery approach that supports individuals with aphasia and those affected by it in achieving their immediate and longer term life goals (LPAA Project Group, 2001). This is a philosophy and model of service delivery, rather than a specific therapy approach. The emphasis of LPAA is to empower those with aphasia to re-engage in life participation and to be at the center of all decision making in their recovery process.
