Abstract
Aphasia support groups and aphasia community centers have been increasing in number over the past 2 decades in the United States and abroad. Participation in these innovative community programs can support the process of self-determination in people with aphasia. In this article, I discuss specific examples of how this occurs and, in addition, review the Living With Aphasia: Framework for Outcome Measurement (A-FROM) model (Kagan et al., 2008) as a useful way to conceptualize the individual benefits that people with aphasia (PWA) may receive from participation in aphasia community centers. The article concludes with a case presentation exemplifying the multi-level benefits achieved from participating in aphasia community programs.
