Aphasia Program
The Aphasia Program at Pi Beta Phi Rehabilitation Institute treats patients with language disorders caused by damage to the brain. Aphasia results in the loss of ability to speak and understand. Causes may include stroke, head trauma, brain tumors or infection. Our program focuses on improving communication through a supportive environment.
