    PPA Chats are for people with PPA and their communication partners. We start as a group, sometimes with a short presentation. Then, we split into breakout rooms based on PPA type or symptoms, so you can talk with others in a similar situation. Communication partners are welcome to assist during the chat, like using supports (i.e., key words, help with words, etc.). There’s also a breakout room for communication partners to connect with each other.
