About Us - The Adler Aphasia Center

The Adler Aphasia Center in the Department of Communication Disorders at Hadassah Academic College is a therapeutic program that was established in 2007 by the Adler family of New Jersey. The Center provides on-going treatment and support for people with Aphasia and their family members throughout their life span, based on the principals of LPAA (Life Participation Approach to Aphasia). People with aphasia and their families come to the Center from throughout Israel because of the Center’s unique social approach and community-based services.

The activity at the center focuses on improving quality of life for people with Aphasia and their family members,by empowering their existing strengths

Each year, the center trains dozens of students on implementing the social approach in treating Aphasia.
