Description

Our Mission To enhance the lives of persons with Aphasia and to help them grow. Our goal is to provide recreational, educational, and emotional support to those affected by Aphasia and their families. In addition, the Center is a resource to the general public and medical community to increase awareness in all things Aphasia! OUR STORY Bruce & Annemarie Albiston In 2005 Annemarie's father, Andre, had a massive stroke, and like so many people, it changed his entire world in an instant. An educator for over 40 years, communicating with young adults was his passion. Aphasia, a communication disorder, left him struggling to carry on a conversation, read and write. Annemarie and her husband Bruce set out to learn as much about Aphasia as possible and to make a positive difference for people struggling with this little understood condition. They founded the Aphasia Center of Maine and held their first Andre R. Hemond Aphasia Retreat Weekend in July of 2012: retreats continue to be held annually.
