What is Aphasia?
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects the ability to speak, read, write, and understand what others say. It is caused by stroke, brain injury or some progressive neurological disorders. It does not affect intelligence. The inability to communicate can cause devastating isolation. Aphasia can turn someone’s life upside down by making daily tasks such as ordering food, sharing an opinion, making a phone call, watching television, reading the mail or writing a grocery list very challenging. MnCAN provides a place for people living with aphasia to gather together and enjoy conversation in a supportive environment.
Programs
MnCAN clubs and programs help people with Aphasia Build Confidence, Enjoy Conversation, Gain Support and Find Connection.
