Virtual Groups
Program: Parenting with Aphasia
Topic: We talk about what it’s like raising children while having aphasia.
Advisor: Lauren Schwabish
When: The second Wednesday of each month from 8-9pm EST
More Information: Parenting is no easy feat but can be particularly challenging when one parent has aphasia. Parenting with Aphasia meets virtually once a month, inviting parents with kids of all ages to join together in a safe, non-judgmental space to share experiences, receive positive peer support, and learn more about how other parents are navigating the highs and lows of modern-day parenting when aphasia is along for the ride. This group is advised by Lauren Schwabish (Owner of Neuro Speech Services).
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.
Qualitative studies, including interviews and focus groups
Qualitative studies can provide deeper insight into what it means to live with aphasia.
