CRG MISSION STATEMENT:

"We seek to offer individuals with aphasia and other acquired neurogenic communication disorders the chance to experience meaningful social closeness and social networks in the context of conversation groups that are designed to

be accessible, enjoyable and comfortable. We strive to support the skills necessary for individuals to experience an increase in life participation and

improved community inclusion.  We believe that the chance to participate in and develop new social networks after stroke and other brain injury is essential to health and well being and our program is committed to promoting positive

experiences in these areas on an ongoing basis.”

Southern and Northern California conversation-based programs in Fullerton and Sacramento Designed for individuals at the chronic stage of living with aphasia and/or other neurogenic communication disorders (Vickers, 1998; Vickers & Hagge, 2005; Vickers & Hagge, 2007) Student volunteers are trained as communication partners (Kagan & Cohen-Schneider, 1999; Kagan, Black, Duchan, & Simmons-Mackie, 2001; Lyon et al., 1997; Vickers, 1998)
