Educational Organizations  

National Aphasia Association     www.aphasia.org

National Stroke Association

These sites provide many levels of information -- from the beginning -- for the consumer. They show you resources available, professionals and services by state. And there are 1-800 numbers to speak to an actual person.

Speech Therapy  

www.speechrecovery.com

www.aphasiatoolbox.com

These folks don't give up.  Their philosophy is that there is always room for more speech recovery.  As a long time aphasic I agree with that!

Exercise  

www.nianow.com

  "Through movement we find health" is their motto. Whatever your fitness level, there is a way in Nia to exercise with benefit and actual ease, whether standing, sitting on a chair, or in a wheelchair. However impaired you might be, their core idea is pleasure in movement in the way that happens for you. 

Check out the website. There is a regional directory of classes on the site.

My experience is that some kind of pleasurable exercise reduces physical stress and thereby promotes emotional well-being.

 Nutrition    

www.createvibranthealth.com    

Using nutritional supplements in a careful manner can be supportive of general health under stressful conditions. Aphasia is a physically stressful condition. This website has a lot of good information and Jim Jordon also provides personal consultation. Check out his newsletter on aphasia and stroke.
