Difficulty communicating can be a problem for people of all ages and for a lot of different reasons. However, many older adults will acquire a communication disorder later in life following stroke or brain injury.

Do you or someone you know have any of the following difficulties?

• making your speech understood by others;
• understanding what others are saying;
• coming up with the right words when talking;
• remembering details of what someone has told you;
• speaking smoothly and fluently.

The Speech and Language Support Group for Adults was created to provide adults in our community with an acquired communication disorder a supportive and non-judgmental environment to socialize, learn, and improve their communication abilities.
