Sentence Structure Group

The Aphasia Group, otherwise known as “Sentence Structure Group,” meets on Wednesdays in the Ambulatory Care Center from 12:45 until 2:15 p.m. The purpose of the group is to provide an opportunity for individuals with aphasia to practice communication in a supportive environment.  This group is open to anyone who has aphasia or language difficulties due to stroke, tumor or traumatic brain injury.   It is facilitated by Christine H. Davis PhD.  Participants need to be screened by Dr. Davis to ensure that they will benefit from participating in the group.  

The cost of the group is $10.00 per session or eight sessions for $70.00 and is self-pay.
