WHO DO YOU WORK WITH?
AphasiaCo works with anyone impacted by a brain injury and aphasia. We work with the person with aphasia, care partners, and loved ones.
We can work 1:1 with the person with aphasia, 1:1 with the care partner, or as a group with the person with aphasia and their care partner together.
We encourage family participation!

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ONLINE SPEECH THERAPY VS APPOINTMENTS IN OFFICE?
Online appointments have many benefits:
- Convenience → you save time by not traveling to a clinic.
- Easy to access → you don’t need to worry about finding a ride.
- Flexibility → you can fit therapy around your schedule.
- Safety → if the weather is bad or you’re recovering from a cold, you can still have your session from the comfort of home.
- Personalized → you can work in your own home and show examples of your daily activities.
-
HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?
The initial evaluation is approximately 60-90 minutes where we will discuss your background and needs. You will receive a written report afterward.
Treatment sessions are approximately 45 minutes, although the time may be shortened or expanded depending on your needs.
-
HOW MANY TREATMENT SESSIONS ARE NEEDED? HOW FREQUENTLY WILL WE MEET?
It depends! We will discuss your needs and find a plan that works for you.
Generally, more traditional speech therapy (exercises, etc) will be once or twice per week to address a treatment plan.
Counseling and life participation therapy can be done on an as-needed basis. This might be only 1-2 sessions or could be on a more long term basis. We will make a plan together.
-
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
We accept Medicare Part B (please see 10/1/25 update above) and we are out-of-network with other insurances. If you do not have Medicare Part B, we can give you an invoice receipt (a.k.a. “superbill”) for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
