Research Spotlight

We have a new research team in the West Regional Center! This new team is called, “Aphasia + Math”. Their aim is to support people with aphasia, care partners, and clinicians in finding creative AND fun ways to (re)learn math.

Personal Spotlight

Mike and Kathy Caputo Interview

Mike and Kathy Caputo are founders of Voices of Hope for Aphasia, a community-based program for people with aphasia and their families. Find out what words of wisdom they have about collaborating with researchers, clinicians, people with aphasia, and their families.

Feature of the Month

Do you invite speakers to your group meetings? Download our handout on Aphasia-Friendly Speaker Guidelines. Help make your speakers fit your group!

What You Can Do

Already 60 people with aphasia, family members, researchers and clinicians have started training. These people will be prepared to sit around the table together and work collaboratively on research teams that will affect the future of people with aphasia. Join us!
