Aphasia

Blue Ridge Speech & Voice helps adults with aphasia—language difficulties caused by stroke, brain injury, or other neurological conditions—regain confidence in communication. Our licensed speech-language pathologists deliver evidence-based therapy via secure online sessions, making high-quality care accessible from the comfort of your home in every state where we’re licensed.

Aphasia is a loss of language, not intelligence.

Our approach goes beyond simple word practice. We tailor each program to your specific goals, whether that means improving conversation skills, reading and writing, or using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools. Therapy may include evidence-based methods such as Melodic Intonation Therapy, Constraint-Induced Language Therapy, and partner training to support family communication. We collaborate closely with your healthcare team and provide practical strategies for daily life so progress continues between sessions.
