At York-Durham Aphasia Centre we offer services and programs for people affected by aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria and other social communication disabilities due to stroke, traumatic brain injury or neurological diseases.
Our group communication programs offer clients a way to re-enter community life, one step at a time. We reach out to local citizens and professionals to encourage their support and involvement. On a wider scale, our agency promotes aphasia awareness, education and research. A March of Dimes program, York-Durham Aphasia Centre helps to knit local and wider-ranging groups and interests into a broad aphasia community.
So who is part of the aphasia community?
- Your husband, who has difficulty speaking after his stroke
- Your wife, who is looking for a volunteer challenge
- Your daughter, who is studying to be a Speech Language Pathologist
- Your neighbour, who is a caregiver to someone with Aphasia or other communication disabilities.
Our website gives you a glimpse into our aphasia community. We hope you find it interesting and informative.
