Communicate with Confidence
Creating a world where every person with aphasia has access to support.
Aphasia Support is a registered charity, founded in Yorkshire. Our mission is to improve the wellbeing of people with aphasia and their carers by providing tailored speech and language therapy and long-term support.
We strive to enhance the quality of life for people with aphasia – helping them to regain control, confidence and independence.
Our programme of support includes:
- 1:1 computer therapy focus
- 1:1 supported conversation
- Aphasia Cafe group sessions
We provide our services free of charge and rely on the kindness and generosity of our community. Over the past year, our charity has helped 205 people with aphasia to communicate with confidence.
