What help is available for the person with aphasia?
There is help, both for the person with aphasia and for the family who needs to understand aphasia. The speech-language pathologist is the professional who is trained at the master’s or doctoral level to evaluate the problem and execute a rehabilitation plan. Although few people can be “cured,” most can be helped. Your speech-language pathologist will be licensed by the state of NJ and will hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and/or licensing from your state.
