Adler Aphasia Center

When we come together, smiles are just the beginning. ?? The energy, the laughter, and the support we share here make every day brighter. Our members and staff create an atmosphere that’s filled with joy, connection, and community. ??

On International Women’s Day, we honor the strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication of the women in our community. ?? From those living with aphasia to the caregivers, therapists, and supporters who empower and uplift every day—your courage and commitment inspire us all. Today, we celebrate YOU and the remarkable impact you have on shaping a brighter future. ??

At Adler Aphasia Center, we create more than just a space—we build a community. ?? Whether you’re living with aphasia or supporting a loved one, we welcome you with understanding, kindness, and support. ?? From our staff to our members, it’s about finding comfort, connection, and care in a place that feels like home. ?? Curious how we can support your loved one? Come for a tour and see how Adler can make a difference. ??

At Adler Aphasia Center, we believe that you participate more in everyday life when you have a supportive community. ?? Our conversation groups provide a space where individuals with aphasia can come together, share experiences, and learn from one another. By connecting with others who truly understand their journey, each person finds strength and support that extends far beyond words. ?? Whether it’s through laughter, shared challenges, or simply being there for one another, our community is the heart of everything we do.

A big thank you to Shai Anbar, former Adler Aphasia Center member, for representing us at the Jewish Disability Awareness & Inclusion Month Information Fair at Congregation Beth El in Voorhees, NJ! ?? Shai shared valuable information about aphasia and helped raise awareness for the amazing work we do in supporting individuals with aphasia and their families. ??

Caregivers are the backbone of the aphasia journey. ?? At Adler Aphasia Center, we recognize the vital role you play in providing emotional support, encouraging progress, and creating a space where healing can thrive. Remember, caregivers are never alone—support, resources, and community are always here for you. ?? Ready to connect with others who understand? Reach out to learn more or join our caregiver support groups.

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth and #HeartHealthMonth, our members with #aphasia want to share some information. Remember, #stroke doesn’t just happen to seniors. We hope this helps!

Supporting a loved one with aphasia means finding new ways to communicate. ??? Here are some simple strategies to help: 1?? Use yes/no questions to simplify conversations. 2?? Be patient and give extra time for responses. 3?? Incorporate gestures, pictures, or writing to aid in communication. 4?? Speak to the person with aphasia in an adult tone—there’s no need to praise after successful conversations. Speak to them as you would any adult. Remember, patience and understanding go a long way in making communication a two-way street. ?? #AphasiaTips #CaregiverSupport #AphasiaCommunication
