PIRATE The Program for Intensive Residential Aphasia Treatment & Education

What is Aphasia?

Aphasia is a language disorder that impacts a person’s ability to understand language, speak, read, and write.  Aphasia is often caused by stroke or head injury and affects over 2.4 million Americans.

Who We Are

We are a team of clinical providers, aphasia scientists, and educators dedicated to helping individuals with aphasia communicate more effectively.

What We Do

PIRATE was founded in 2009 to address the needs of Veterans living with aphasia.  We have provided treatment to hundreds of Veterans from across the United States while working to better understand aphasia recovery and improve outcomes for all individuals living with aphasia.
