With an Open Lines® program, a speech-language pathologist (SLP) will tailor an individual’s treatment plan via a series of in-depth tests that examine different aspects of speech, language, and cognitive-communication. Results provide baseline data and help your SLP understand your strengths, needs, and goals. An SLP will consider medical history, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as your responsiveness to therapy techniques. They will also consider how these difficulties may affect one’s ability to work, interact with people, and/or carry out daily activities. An individualized plan of exercises that incorporate a variety of techniques is then developed and implemented to help a person reach their goals!
It is never too late! Even those who survived stroke long ago can benefit, and our online, in-home, and in-office intensive programs can help. Participate in an intensive program and return to living life!

Intensive Cognitive and Aphasia Program (ICAP) (Both Virtual or In Person)
An Intensive Cognitive and Aphasia Program (ICAP) is prioritized for individuals with aphasia. Your specialist will guide you through a series of impairment-based exercises as well as functional activities that simulate your daily activities to help you carry these skills into your everyday life with the people you want to communicate with. Each therapy session includes research-based approaches grounded in principles of neuroplasticity. People regain the ability to functionally communicate in everyday situations and ultimately re-develop skill sets and strategies to enhance the quality of life and participate in desired activities.
Aphasia Communication Group (Both Virtual or In Person)
Our Aphasia Communication Group is specifically designed for individuals who are retraining, strengthening, and preserving communication skills following a stroke, brain injury, or neurological condition. The primary objective of this group is to assist members and their loved ones in practicing communication within a conversational context, while also exploring strategies to cope with the day-to-day realities of living with communication barriers. We understand that a welcoming support system addressing physical, emotional, and social needs is essential for maintaining motivation, managing stress, and living a confident and purposeful life.
Post-stroke Care Management (Both Virtual or In Person)
Our program also includes caregiver education and support and post-stroke care management, including co-scheduling and attending doctor appointments, coordinating care and medications with the medical team, assisting with safe traveling, facilitating return to work, and participation in activities you enjoyed before the stroke.
