Reconnect with your loved ones after a Stroke.
Apheleia Speech helps you learn strategies to effectively communicate with your loved one with Aphasia. Our team and online program is open to serve residents anywhere in Alberta and Ontario.
After your loved one had a Stroke, do you notice…
You have difficulty understanding what your loved one is saying?
While aphasia may affect the way people speak and understand, it does not impact their intelligence. Your loved one may know more than they are able to say, but have difficulty communicating what they mean.
Does your loved one appear to have the words on “the tip of their tongue”?
They may be having a hard time finding the words to use or may be using sounds or words that aren’t quite right.
Does your loved one feel isolated from conversations?
They may feel that they can’t converse with people the way they used to or that conversations are happening around them without their involvement. This may make them feel frustrated or ignored.
How We Solve It
Apheleia Speech’s Aphasia Program gives back the gift of communication with your loved one. The aim is to help you communicate more easily with your loved one.
The program includes “seeing” your therapist 3x per week — once live and twice via uploaded videos. Our virtual visits ensure that your therapy is conducted with flexibility and in the comfort of your own home.
Like everything we do, we also keep our pricing simple. No long-term contracts. No surprise fees or extras. Cancel any time.
