Cognitive Communication Skills Group

What is the Cognitive Communication Skills Group?

The only one of its kind in the Lehigh Valley, the Cognitive Communication Skills Group is led by a licensed speech-language pathologist and ideal for aphasia, dysarthia, apraxia of speech and cognitive communication disorders.

The group meets weekly in eight- or nine-week cycles. Cycles begin the first Thursday of the month.

Activities include:

• • Speaking clearly and with less hesitation

• • Participating in social conversations (i.e., asking and responding to questions)

• • Topic maintenance and reducing rambling

• • Using strategies to improve overall communication
