Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to get to know the U-M Aphasia Program better.
We have heard from medical professionals who often feel frustrated or overwhelmed with figuring out what resources are available for clients with aphasia, including clients who are limited to a few sessions per week because of case load or insurance limits or who would benefit from or need more frequent and intensive therapy.
Does that sound familiar? Have you found yourself in that scenario? We can help!
Our program is perfect for people with aphasia who might require a more intensive approach to speech and language therapy for recovery. We offer year-round, intensive in-person sessions at our Michigan office, as well as teletherapy (in states where we are licensed).

“Attending UMAP was a revelation,” said Bruce. “Working with the UMAP team was very special to me. Every hour I was given new challenges. Every day. The therapists, SLPs, and the administration… each of them enhanced my learning with their efforts. I loved it.”Bruce Farrell
Bruce attended our program in 2020 after experiencing a traumatic brain injury.

But how do we know it works? Is it worth the money? How do you know if you should recommend the U-M Aphasia Program to a client or caregiver?

“It was clearly evident that we were in the right place for Jeff’s treatment from the first day here at UMAP. To say that the therapists are amazing is an understatement.”Mariah Windt
Jeff and his wife, Mariah, attended our program in 2021 after surviving a stroke.
