Home-Like Aphasia House Offers Innovative Therapy

A new facility dedicated solely to innovative therapy for individuals with aphasia, or the loss of speech resulting from neurologic injury, has been established at the University of Central Florida with an anonymous $25,000 donation.
The Aphasia House provides speech-language therapy in a setting distinct from a typical medical office. Each room is outfitted to resemble a familiar space in a home, including a kitchen, garden patio and garage. The rooms are designed to encourage natural conversations. UCF graduate students studying communicaion sciences and disorders provide individualized and group therapy under the supervision of certified clinical faculty.
This is the only intensive program for persons with aphasia in the Central Florida area.....next
