Parenting is no easy feat but can be particularly challenging when one parent has aphasia. Parenting with Aphasia meets virtually once a month, inviting parents with kids of all ages to join together in a safe, non-judgmental space to share experiences, receive positive peer support, and learn more about how other parents are navigating the highs and lows of modern-day parenting when aphasia is along for the ride.

Young adults with aphasia have a unique experience in the aphasia community. Join us to talk about relationships, work, school, health care and insurance, therapy, and more. This group is advised by Kitti Tong and Katie Breece, both of whom are young adults with aphasia.
