Aphasia Services supported by MODC
Alberta Aphasia camp would not be possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of our professional and student volunteers. We would also like to thank the people with aphasia and their families who have provided ongoing feedback, in order to create the best version of camp every year.

• Aphasia Camps in Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, and Ontario
• Aphasia and Communication Disabilities Day Program (Ontario)
• Aphasia-Friendly Peer Support Groups (British Columbia and Ontario)
