While aphasia is at the heart of our services, LIFE Speech Pathology® also offers specialized programs for Parkinson’s, Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA), and communication care partners.
Our holistic approach ensures that care partners are supported every step of the way.
Explore how we can help you or your loved one reclaim communication and live more fully.
Many people with aphasia have only experienced traditional, impairment-based speech pathology treatments and are often discharged, still facing significant communication deficits. At LIFE, we believe in a different approach. We focus on life participation, where you and your clinician are equal team members working towards goals that are personal to you. Our ultimate aim is to help you live well with aphasia.
