Welcome to Aphasia Now

AphasiaNow is for people with aphasia


'AphasiaNow' was created by by people with aphasia, and is run for people with aphasia.

The vision of Aphasia Now is to be an aphasia-friendly website and to provide a weekly support group in Gloucestershire:

  • to provide a forum for aphasic people to communicate with each other all over the world

  • to be a site that will encourage aphasic people to share experiences and pass on their aphasia expertise.

  • join with aphasic people to campaign to improve services

  • develop independence and to lead fulfilling lives despite aphasia

  • raise awareness of how aphasia affects people and their families. We need to raise awareness in the general public and in those whose work brings them into contact with aphasic people.

    Aphasia Now Resources

  • Aphasia Now offer information and news about aphasia and try to provide better opportunities and aphasia related resources.

  • Aphasia Now also provides information for aphasic people and their families.

  • Aphasia Now can only achieve its aims if people with aphasia use the site.

  • But, if you have a professional interest in aphasia, you will also find the site interesting and useful.
  • The 2007 AphasiaNow Conference

    A ground braking conference by and for people with aphasia

    Useful for contractors and freelancers who are recovering from aphasia or stroke by using umbrella company services.
