Aphasia is a communication disorder that impairs a person’s ability to process language
but does not affect intelligence. It’s caused by damage in the area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension.
At Touro, we advocate for people living with aphasia and their caregivers. Through the Touro Infirmary Foundation, Touro has created an Aphasia Support Group that provides education, support, socialization, and resources for those living with aphasia and their support person.
Each month you will hear from clinicians and experts on best practices and supportive care for Aphasia.
There is no fee to attend the support group.
Parking is free in the Prytania or Delachaise parking garages.
