April 8th–10 th 2026 | Three Days of Learning, Connection, and Support

In recognition of International Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) Awareness Week, the National Aphasia Association invites you to join us for a special three-day series of events dedicated to education, connection, and community.

PPA is a progressive neurological condition that affects communication, language, and identity. Through this series, we aim to bring together individuals living with PPA, care partners, clinicians, and researchers to share knowledge, resources, and support.

Why This Matters
At the NAA, we are committed to expanding awareness, education, and support for individuals living with PPA. Through initiatives like this—and through programs supported by partnerships like Outdrive Aphasia—we are working to ensure that no one navigates PPA alone.

We hope you will join us for one or all of these events as we learn together, support one another, and raise awareness.
