San Antonio Network for Aphasia (SANA)
Do you or your loved one have aphasia? You are not alone.
Aphasia is a common communication disorder that affects about 2 million people in the United States. Aphasia can happen suddenly, such as after stroke or brain injury, or develop slowly over time, such as with primary progressive aphasia.
SANA works to improve the lives of people with aphasia and their families by…
- Connecting people living with aphasia and their caregivers in San Antonio through a support group, community events, and a summer program;
- Providing community-based assessment and treatment services to help improve communication and quality of life during the summer program;
- Improving healthcare experiences by reducing communication barriers and offering research‑based training for healthcare providers; and
- Helping people with aphasia take part in the San Antonio community by partnering with local non‑profit organizations that welcome SANA volunteers.
