Jefferson Aphasia Center programs and services include:

• The Advanced Clinical Therapy (ACT) Program is a specialized outpatient therapy program developed for patients with chronic or persisting aphasia greater than six months. Treatment emphasizes developing effective home practice routines using computers whenever possible.
• Outside of Philadelphia, the ACT program offers an in-depth evaluation and a treatment plan that can be carried out by the patient’s treating clinician.
• In the Aphasia Center computer lab, we enlist preprogrammed exercises, with trained volunteers.
• SentenceShaper™ is another unique program that aids patients in formulating and producing more complete and informative language.
• Social approaches assist rehabilitation. Our Activity Center offers conversation and support groups, a book club, a computer lab, a weekly cards group, educational programs and a place to socialize—all crucial to long term recovery and reintegration into community activities.
• Voices of Jefferson Aphasia Center (VOJAC) is the driving force behind the Aphasia Center. VOJAC volunteers organize events, run group activities, spearhead fundraising events and advocate for aphasia awareness.
