Hello
This is my first post to the forum. Around 18 months ago my mother had a stroke and as a result has severe aphasia. She is very expressive although cannot form coherent words and she loves music. I have been reading a bit about music therapy in the US and wonder if anyone has any experience with Music therapists for aphasia sufferers?
Thank you.
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for posting.
Where are you based? We have a list of aphasia choirs here.
You may like to reach out to Wendy Lyons at the Ringwood (Vic) aphasia choir here. There is a lot of information about choirs and music as therapy on their site.
Also give us a call on StrokeLine 1800 787 653 to chat further about available therapies and therapists.
You may also like to listed to the aphasia podcast here.

Hi Kelly
I am running a survey for caregivers of people with aphasia. If you see this and would like to participate, please find the link below. It closes 25 August. It would be great to get your views.
