For almost 30 years, the Aphasia Center of California (ACC) has been rebuilding communication and transforming lives! Using a life participation approach, our programs reduce the social isolation caused by aphasia, by creating a community of people who care and support one another. In 2024, we provided over 4,000 hours of services, such as communication groups, to people with aphasia and their care partners.

What is aphasia? Aphasia (uh-fay-zhuh) is a loss or reduction of language (i.e., speaking, understanding, reading, and/or writing) following brain damage, such as a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Although language is impacted by aphasia, intelligence is not.
