About

The Adler Aphasia Center, a non-profit organization, is a community center that addresses the long-term needs of people with aphasia, a language disorder caused by stroke or other brain injury. The center offers low-cost therapy that provides its participants (called members) with self-confidence and communication skills to improve their quality of life. Something Special, a unique design studio located in the center, was created by a core group of members with aphasia with the guidance and leadership of the center’s technology coach in 2009. Members meet several times a week to design and create handcrafted jewelry, custom designed greeting cards, keepsake boxes, photo calendars and more.

The concept was created as a result of the technology tools used at the center. Although their lives have changed, members flourish using their newfound skills. Initiated to enable members to contribute to the center, the store’s real success is reflected in the education of buyers and recipients about aphasia, in building members' self-esteem and in improving their communication skills.

All proceeds from sales directly support the activities, programs and services of the center, the only post-rehabilitation therapeutic center of its kind in the greater NY/NJ area.
