My Nonprofit Reviews

My husband has been a member of the Aphasia Center of West Texas since 2002.
During that time we went from wondering how to still do some of the things that we felt was taken away after his stroke.
The Aphasia Center helped by showing us how to still be a part of our community and still participate in living a fun and useful life.
The programs they offer can help do just that. Among his favorites are gardening, cooking, woodworking, poker, music. They also offer computer classes and communication skills and several others.
Everyone should find at least a few classes to participate in that they enjoy.
If someone is new to Aphasia they need to give it a try. Strangers soon become close friends and family.

Thirteen years ago, my husband, Gary had a brain aneurysm and this drastically changed our lives forever. After the traditional therapy was exhausted, what a Blessing it was to find the Aphasia Center of West Texas. Gary has been a member for over 10 years and everyone involved in the Aphasia Center is family! It gives him a safe place to go and interact with others with Aphasia and have conversation, fun and games. As a caregiver, it gives me much needed time to run errands or free time. It is great to walk into the Aphasia Center and hear laughter and see smiles on everyone's faces.

After my husband suffered a brain aneurysm eleven years ago, we went through all the therapy that was available. When we had exhausted all the traditional therapy from different places, thank goodness the Aphasia Center of West Texas was just starting. The Aphasia Center offered new hope for beginning a new and different kind of life after stroke. The class offerings of art, audio book club, gardening, computer, communication skills, and more have all given my husband a reason to get up in the morning and enjoy his day. He loves the companionship of others going through similar ordeals and of the staff and volunteers taking the time and patience to understand what he is saying. Also, it gives the caregiver time to themselves to leave and know that their loved one is in good hands. We are very fortunate to have the Apahasia Center of West Texas in our community.
