Aphasia SA

Aphasia SA Aphasia SA is a membership organisation. You can join Aphasia SA for $20 each year.

Aphasia SA (previously known as Talkback Association for Aphasia Inc) is run by volunteers to support South Australians with a language impairment called aphasia. Aphasia SA (previously Talkback Association for Aphasia Inc) is a volunteer-run association in South Australia that provides support for people with aphasia, their families, and carers. The association was specifically designed for peopl

e with aphasia, with the involvement of people with aphasia, their families and carers, and speech pathologists. Aphasia is a language impairment resulting from stroke, brain tumour, head injury, or degenerative disease, which impacts the ability to speak, understand speech, read, and write. People with aphasia may experience limited occupational, family, and social roles, and altered relationships and quality of life resulting from their communication difficulties. Aphasia SA aims to:
• Provide information and support.
• Raise public and professional awareness of aphasia.
• Promote social opportunities and conversation through Talkback Groups and regular social events.
• Help develop social and self-help groups and programs.
• Develop advocacy skills.
• Support people with aphasia to develop confidence in their communication, and take control over their own lives. Aphasia SA

SPEECH PATHOLOGISTS NEEDED FOR SURVEY!

The survey contains 16 questions and should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. Responses are anonymous.
