Introduction to the Program

With this 100% online program, you will develop advanced skills to perform accurate functional diagnoses, identify different types of Aphasia, and design therapeutic interventions based on scientific evidence”

Aphasia, a language disorder usually caused by brain damage, affects millions of people worldwide, with stroke being the leading cause in older adults. According to the National Aphasia Association, more than 2 million people in the United States live with this condition, while in Europe it is estimated to affect more than 250,000 people each year.

This is how this program was developed, which will analyze classic models of cognitive functioning and their application in understanding the different types of this disorder.
