June marks National Aphasia Awareness Month. For more than seven years, the Adler Aphasia Center in Maywood has been offering low-cost programs in a group setting to help people with aphasia develop their communication skills and self-confidence to improve their quality of life, alleviate their isolation, and facilitate their re-engagement with family and community.
