Intensive, Innovative Language Therapy

Do you know someone who has had a stroke or a brain injury? Does that person have difficulties communicating and using language? Is the progress being made in typical speech-language therapy sessions not as much as you would have hoped?

If so, the speech-language clinicians at the University of Michigan Aphasia Program (UMAP) can help. We are committed to providing intensive state-of-the-art therapy to adults who have had strokes and other brain injuries. We believe that people with aphasia can lead productive, happy, and satisfying lives. We can help your friend, family member, or loved one reach personal goals and improve his or her quality-of-life through our intensive, innovative, and hands-on therapy.

Mapping Success
"(The greatest benefit from participating in UMAP comes from having) intensive speech therapy with a group of well-trained, highly experienced professional speech therapists. There is no other program like this in the country to my knowledge. The speech therapists are wonderful!! Each therapist helped mom realize that the sky is the limit!"
