Aphasia Hope Foundation (AHF) was founded in 1997 because of the lack of information available to the estimated 1 million aphasia survivors. AHF helps aphasia survivors, family members, and health care professionals by publishing survivors' experiences on our web site. Additionally, AHF offers an online forum for aphasia survivors and their caregivers to ask questions of the leading professionals in the field of aphasia. Our long-term goal is put the word aphasia into the ears of the public.
