APHASIA CENTER OF WEST TEXAS INC

Mission

The Aphasia Center of West Texas provides support services to individuals and families whose lives have been impacted by aphasia. We offer a holistic, social model of service meant to help those we serve re-engage in life. Our model of service is the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia, recognized by the leading clinicians and researchers in the field of aphasia as best practice. Imagine knowing just what you want to say but being unable to get the words out. This is just some of the frustration people with aphasia feel. The Aphasia Center of WEST Texas was the second independent aphasia in the country to open our doors and we remain one of only two centers in the entire state of Texas. Our services are private pay only. We do not accept insurance or government funding. We are completely privately funded through foundation support and fundraising events. Our goal is for the person with aphasia to be in control rather than have an outside entity dictate the perimeters of care. Those
