Welcome to Aphasia United

A Unified Voice for Aphasia

Aphasia United represents the collective voices of organisations of people living with aphasia, aphasia service providers, and aphasia researchers. We seek to drive change through global strategic action.

 We will work in partnership with aphasia organisations to achieve change by:

  • Increasing the visibility of people living with aphasia and the clinicians and researchers who work to support them.
  • Representing the aphasia community globally.
  • Creating formal global networks that connect people living with aphasia, clinicians and researchers.
  • Setting a global research agenda.
  • Encouraging best standards of practice in aphasia care.
