Welcome to IAM!
AM assists people with speech and learning problems due to the disability of aphasia caused by a stroke or other brain injury. We provide no-charge speech and language therapy, resources and community in supportive group settings to anyone with aphasia.

IAM has been helping aphasia survivors and co-survivors with support and free small group language therapy since 2005. It is a nonprofit organization that was founded and is led by aphasia survivors and co-survivors.
IAM Can Help You!
Many people believe that once you reach three or six months of therapy you are not likely to improve.
We know this is not true. Even those with the most severe aphasia can continue to improve.
At our programs, people improve their ability to communicate, gain more confidence and self-esteem, and learn skills that help them return to work or gain greater independence.
All sessions are provided or supervised by licensed speech language pathologists.
VOLUNTEER
AM welcomes volunteer licensed speech language pathologists and graduate student clinicians. We may also be able to use volunteers with other skills. For more information, contact carlota@iamaphasia.org
