Insurance therapy helps you regain basic skills, but it doesn’t give you a plan for life after therapy — and that’s where most people get stuck.

Most survivors leave outpatient therapy knowing how to practice skills, but not how to use them in conversations at home, with friends, or at work. There is no roadmap for returning to your roles, rebuilding your identity, or reconnecting with the people who matter. That’s why so many people feel like they “should be better by now,” but nothing in daily life changes.

In the Rebuilder Program, we turn those skills into real-world success:

• We identify the conversations and decisions that matter most in your actual life

• We build the words, strategies, and habits you need for those moments

• We practice with real examples — meetings, appointments, planning, social time

• We include your care partner so you’re not rebuilding alone

A real example: CK completed two years of outpatient therapy but was still stuck at the lowest role in the department he once led. He could say words and do worksheets, but he couldn’t communicate in real situations. Through the Rebuilder Program, CK learned how to plan conversations, talk with his supervisor, manage team interactions, and give short presentations again. Within six months, he earned two promotions and returned to leadership — not because he practiced more speech, but because he rebuilt communication for the life he wanted.

You don’t need more exercises. You need a system that bridges the gap between therapy skills and real-life participation — at home, at work, and in your relationships.

Yes! We help you understand how communication works in these situations and practice it in a step by step way.

Together we break down the conversations that matter to you, then build the skills and strategies that fit each one. Confidence does not come from repeating word lists. It comes from using your words successfully, with support, feedback, and adjustments, because real life is not linear. We will practice things like

• joining or leading work conversations

• speaking up in meetings or groups

• reconnecting with friends and community activities

so you can walk into these moments with a plan instead of fear.

They are not a bystander. They are a Rebuilder too.

Your stroke impacted your spouse, partner, family, and friends. The strongest recovery happens when care partners are supported and have tools for their own roles and responsibilities. In our work we

• teach partners how to communicate in a way that supports you without taking over

• give them strategies to manage stress, expectations, and daily decisions

• help both of you build new habits so home feels like a team again

We also offer a separate customized program for care partners through the LIFE Aphasia Collective®, so they have their own space to learn, process, and grow.

You will learn skills that help you get back to conversations with the people who matter, in the situations that matter.

We do not drill random words. We start with real moments from your life and build what you need for each one. That can include

• talking with your spouse or family about daily plans or decisions

• calling or texting friends and relatives

• handling appointments, errands, groups, or hobbies that bring you joy

For each situation we build the vocabulary, concepts, and strategies that fit, then practice until they start to feel natural again.

You are “done” when you can participate in the moments that matter and do the things you want to do.

You set the goals. When you feel confident using strategies in the situations that are most important to you, you get to call your shots. Many people choose to continue with us, not because they are failing, but because recovery never truly stops.

There is always another skill, angle, or technique to refine. That is what neuroplasticity is all about. You can keep living and growing. It all starts with the Rebuilder Program.

We measure what changes in your real life, not just on a test.

Progress shows up in how you feel and how you function in everyday situations. Together we track

• how conversations with your spouse or family are going

• how often you join in instead of pulling back

• how texting, phone calls, and social time with friends feel

• how confident you are using your tools without coaching

If it is not changing life at home, we do not count it as progress.
