"Aphasia - Now What?"

Do you want to know more about aphasia?

Doctors, nurses, and Speech-Language Pathologists often can’t spend the time they would like to educate you on your new diagnosis.  With restrictions on visiting hours, education is even more limited.  This workshop is aimed to help fill in the gap and answer your questions – whether you received a diagnosis of aphasia a month ago or 10 years ago!

This 2-day workshop is offered ONLINE and IN PERSON.

The interactive, 2-day workshop provides education, support, and strategies for the entire family unit.  Over the course of 4-hours, spouses, parents, children, and loved ones get a chance to learn about aphasia, feel what it might be like to have aphasia, and ask questions about their experiences and challenges with aphasia.

We limit the number of families per session so we can spend the time to answer your questions and give you an opportunity to share and learn from others, so SIGN UP NOW! You must commit to attending both days of the workshop – two dates are now available, more will be announced soon.

The workshop is conducted on two days. This allows you to process the information and collect questions and thoughts for the second day. We want you to have lots of questions!

Each day is two hours long with a 10-minute break in the middle. Pick from weekday mornings, weekday evenings, or weekends! To register, click on your preferred date:
