Young Adults Living with Aphasia Group

Group member expression of Interest for October 2024. Join us for our first in-person Young Adults Living with Aphasia Group at Royal Rehab LifeWorks Ryde.

About this group

We are pleased to introduce our first in-person Young Adults Living with Aphasia Group (YALA). This program is designed for young adults aged 18 to 45 who have been diagnosed with aphasia following a brain injury.

Our aim is to support the improvement of functional communication and social skills in a structured, supportive environment.

The group will run every Thursday for 6 weeks at Royal Rehab Ryde.

We aim to start in October 2024.

This in-person group has 6 sessions focusing on:

  • Implementing techniques and strategies to enhance overall communicative effectiveness
  • Supporting word-finding difficulties
  • Improving vocabulary and increasing sentence length
  • Enhancing conversational skills
  • Meeting peers and sharing lived experiences
  • Creating and maintaining friendships
  • Exploring different topics each week with revision of strategies and materials

New clients to Royal Rehab LifeWorks Ryde will be required to complete a brief initial consultation with a Speech Pathologist to assess their needs and ensure suitability for the group.

If you or your client may be interested, please get in touch via email to rrlw.ryde@royalrehab.com.au or call 1800 518 180
