Voices of Hope for Aphasia
Who we are:
Voices of Hope for Aphasia reconnects people living with aphasia, with their lives through innovative programs. We are located in St. Petersburg, Florida and expanding throughout the Tampa-Bay area.
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder caused by stroke or other brain injury. Aphasia can affect a person's speech, understanding, reading, and writing but does NOT affect a person's intelligence. Almost 2,000,000 people in the US are living with aphasia - and although stroke is on the decline, stroke in people under the age of 50 is increasing. Help us provide services and support to people with aphasia and their families.
Our programs rebuild self-esteem through successful experiences, improve the communication accessibility of the community, foster communication in groups, provide training and tools to improve relationships with family and friends, and educate the public about aphasia.

Looking Forward - Moving On! Attend our event in person!
Attend our unique two day conference for people with aphasia, their family, and the Speech-Language Pathologists that serve them.
Professionals: Learn how to counsel and motivate your clients in the "in-between" moments - those short, powerful exchanges at the beginning and end of sessions, and between tasks. You'll learn counseling techniques from the one who wrote the book on counseling - Dr. Audrey Holland! Also, get an introduction to the evidence-based practice of Motivational Interviewing, and a Train-the-Trainer course on family education!
Consumers: It's time to stop looking back - look forward! Our inspiring speakers will help you identify new goals. You will learn techniques to help keep yourself motivated.
