Aphasia therapy is offered at the Edward D. Mysak Clinic for Communication Disorders in both individual and group treatment formats. Clients are provided with an initial evaluation with both individual and group treatment options available.
One-on-one therapy sessions are customized to suit each client's current communication needs. Input is sought from each client, their families/caregivers and/or the facilities in which they reside. We provide compensatory strategies and/or augmentative communication tools. Our clients' goals range from multi-modal expression of basic needs and ideas to high-level word retrieval, reading comprehension and writing skills aimed at full community integration.
Our aphasia groups meet weekly for one hour. Each session is customized to the needs of each individual within the group.
