National Aphasia Association
From Life Done Right SeniorWiki
The National Aphasia Association, NAA, is a nonprofit organization that promotes public education, research, rehabilitation and support services to assist people with aphasia and their families.
The NAA's mission is to educate the public to know that the word aphasia describes an impairment of the ability to communicate, not an impairment of intellect. The NAA makes people with aphasia, their families, support systems, and health care professionals aware of resources to recover lost skills to the extent possible, to compensate for skills that will not be recovered and to minimize the psychosocial impact of the language impairment.
The NAA envisions a society in which aphasia is a commonly understood word and where there are resources available for educating people with aphasia, their families, health professionals, and the public on how people with aphasia can reclaim their quality of life
