Education for People with Aphasia
Minnesota Connect Aphasia Now is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the life participation of individuals impacted by aphasia through comprehensive programs, education, peer connection and community support.
Aphasia is a language disorder most commonly caused by strokes that limits a person’s ability to communicate. Even though aphasia does not change the person’s intellectual ability in any way, the difficulty in communication often leads to painful social isolation and loss of quality of life. Aphasia affects not only speaking but can affect reading, writing, use of numbers, and understanding of what is being said.
