LIFE Aphasia Academy® offers education, tools, and community through the LIFE Aphasia Collective®, where care partners and survivors learn practical strategies, share experiences, and find hope together. Both programs work hand in hand to make life after aphasia more connected, purposeful, and joyful.

Clinical Trials
Clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of new treatments. Also known as intervention studies, clinical trials test whether a new type of treatment, compared to a control or “usual” treatment, may be beneficial for people with aphasia.
