Aphasia Institute
Share
Aphasia (uh-fay'-zhuh) is an acquired communication disorder caused by an injury to the brain.
The Aphasia Institute is a community-based centre of excellence, pioneering programs and practices that help the 100,000 Canadians with aphasia learn how to communicate in new ways so they can re-join life’s conversations. Through direct service, research, and education and training, Aphasia Institute has built a reputation as a world leader in aphasia care.
Volunteering is a win-win. Feels good and helps others.
