Aphasia is a language disorder that limits speech. According to the National Aphasia Association, Aphasia affects over two million Americans. On the day it entered our lives, we were totally clueless about its' existence, symptoms, and the long-term effects of a stroke. Our mission began to help make others aware and to help those afflicted to use speech therapy and other neuron navigational methods to improve their communication. Aphasia Associates began after a stroke and changed our lives forever. Many people are unaware of the signs of a stroke that do not include muscle disruption. A question, “What has helped other people?” began the Aphasia Associates Support Group. We continue to add to the list of supportive practices that have made a difference in the lives of people with Aphasia. The objective of this group is to enhance communication for the person with Aphasia, and for their families to understand ways to support the efforts of their loved ones in the struggle to rebuild pathways and neurons in the brain that will permit fluent speech. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month, currently on Zoom Speech, supported by Speech Therapists from Kaiser Permanente and North Bay Hospital, professors and speech therapy student interns from California State University at Sacramento, and the University of the Pacific, who share successful practices and techniques to improve speech. Aphasia Associates continues to thrive as a grassroots support group for families to network by sharing experiences and practices that made a difference.
