Parenting is no easy feat but can be particularly challenging when one parent has aphasia. Parenting with Aphasia invites parents with kids of all ages to join together in a supportive, non-judgmental space to share resources and strategies, receive positive peer support, and learn more about how other parents are navigating the highs and lows of modern-day parenting when aphasia is along for the ride.

PPA Chat is for people with PPA / PPAOS and their communication partners to learn, share strategies, and connect with others. We start as a group, sometimes with a short presentation. Then, we split into breakout rooms based on PPA type or symptoms, including a room for care partners.

Join us for an evening support group for care partners and communication parters of people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and primary progressive apraxia of speech (PPAOS). This is a space for care partners, family, and friends of people with PPA/PPAOS to share resources and strategies, learn about and increase awareness of PPA/PPAOS, and find community with one another.

In this monthly interactive educational session, we will have an opportunity to learn more about the topic shared in this month’s “Ask the Expert” webinar and have more questions answered. All are welcome; bring your questions, feedback, and ideas!
