Communication
Partners For People
With Aphasia
Imagine a world where every person with aphasia
has someone to talk to, someone who listens, understands, and helps them reconnect with the joy of conversation. AphasiaPals is building that world. We match individuals with trained companions who offer warmth, patience, and meaningful conversations.
As a full-time caregiver for someone with aphasia, I saw firsthand how hard it is to find someone who truly gets it, who’s patient, kind, and willing to listen.
So we created AphasiaPals. It’s been tested with real people in real homes, and it works. We’re now building a way to bring this healing connection to more people, everywhere.
The Story Behind AphasiaPals
Communicate with Confidence
Time Well Spent Strengthening
Real-Life Communication
After aphasia, communication may take more effort, but your thoughts, personality, and voice are still there.
When conversations move too quickly or you don’t have the time you need, it can feel discouraging. Over time, that can lead to isolation.
AphasiaPals was created to offer something different.
We provide meaningful, one-on-one conversations with trained partners who understand the value of patience and presence. These sessions aren’t therapy, they’re real-life practice designed to strengthen confidence, restore connection, and support everyday communication.
Here, you are given time.
Here, you are heard.
Here, you belong.

Building Something People Believe In
Quotes may be lightly edited for clarity while preserving the speaker’s meaning.
“Having aphasia is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. Learning to live with aphasia by ourselves is tiring to say the least, especially the one with aphasia and their family.
AphasiaPals Meet and Greet is a wonderful organisation, letting everyone know they are not only with their aphasia.”
— Fred Reader
“People talking to me I want that.”
— Demetrius Moreno
