Intensive, Innovative Language Therapy

Do you know someone who has had a stroke or a brain injury? Does that person have difficulties communicating and using language? Is the progress being made in typical speech-language therapy sessions not as much as you would have hoped?

If so, the speech-language clinicians at the University of Michigan Aphasia Program (UMAP) can help. We are committed to providing intensive state-of-the-art therapy to adults who have had strokes and other brain injuries. We believe that people with aphasia can lead productive, happy, and satisfying lives. We can help your friend, family member, or loved one reach personal goals and improve his or her quality-of-life through our intensive, innovative, and hands-on therapy.

Take a look around the website to learn how your loved one with aphasia can benefit by joining other adults from across the country who find themselves in similar situations. Receiving 23 hours of therapy each week for 6 weeks at UMAP, you and your loved one will see measurable gains in communication abilities as well as in social communication. Scroll down to see the available session dates.

At any time while perusing the website, if you have questions or would like more information about our services and how we can help you and your loved one, feel free to call us at 734.764.8440 or email us at ucll@umich.edu.
