Aphasia Conversation Lab

The Aphasia Conversation Lab (ACL) is a clinical research laboratory developed to advance interactional research in aphasia, train clinicians on functional treatment approaches and provide support to persons with aphasia as they move through the continuum of recovery.

The ACL functions as a specialty clinic in the 黑料爆料网 Speech & Hearing Clinic with the primary goal of helping persons with aphasia (PWA) overcome communicative barriers and learn to live a successful and satisfactory life after aphasia. The ACL offers individual and group sessions where PWA can work on specific, client-centered goals.

We offer three different types of groups that meet weekly: conversation groups where PWA meet to discuss a variety of topics and practice communication strategies, a technology group aimed at helping PWA better access the internet and digital technologies and a book club where PWA participate in shared reading and reflective activities.

We also have an active support group that meets the first Wednesday of each month at noon. The support group focuses on getting on with life after aphasia and building a community network for PWA and their families. Check out our  to stay up to date with all of our scheduled events!
