What is aphasia?
Aphasia
(pronounced “a-fay-zha”) is a communication disorder caused by stroke
and other types of brain injury. It can result in difficulty speaking,
writing, reading or understanding spoken language. Over 50,000
Canadians suffer a stroke each year, and approximately 75 % of those
who survive have a chronic disability as a result. Many of these people
are living with aphasia. It is estimated that roughly 3,500 people in
the Ottawa area are directly affected. Many more family members suffer
indirectly as they struggle to maintain their relationship with a loved
one who can no longer communicate as before.
About Us
For
15 years, Aphasia Centre of Ottawa has provided care aimed at enhancing
clients’ quality of life by helping them improve their ability to
communicate with others and regain their self-confidence. Aphasia
Centre of Ottawa is a non-profit, community-based organization that
relies on donations and fees to provide these much-needed services. The
Centre is staffed by two speech-language pathologists, a communicative
disorders assistant, and two social workers. Together, they focus on
building a supportive environment where people with aphasia feel
comfortable and valued. The primary goal is to facilitate renewed
participation in social activities and encourage people to overcome the
isolation that often results from aphasia by helping them re-establish
social contacts.
