apPhasia

The apPhasia app is a fun way to raise awareness about aphasia. You can take a selfie, change the text, and post it on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

Aphasia is a language disorder that impairs the expression and understanding of spoken language, reading and writing. It occurs most often from a stroke or brain injury. This frustrating condition affects a person’s ability to communicate, but does not affect his or her intellect.

Aphasia affects more than 2 ½ million Americans. It robs one of the ability to communicate, cutting people off from their family, friends, health care providers, and everyday life. The Adler Aphasia Center provides a therapeutic environment of innovative programs that give people with aphasia and their caregivers ways to reconnect with life.
