Introducing the Interval Intensive Aphasia Treatment program from The Aphasia Center at Steps Forward and www.aphasiatoolbox.com . This new program combines the benefits of on-site intensive aphasia treatment with ongoing online intensive aphasia treatment.

Some unique features of the program include:

· Convenient - on-site treatment in your geographic area followed up with online treatment in your home.

· Intensive - two weeks of treatment

· Flexible- 10 hour and 20 hour schedules for the week of onsite treatment

· Continued practice- homework is given daily, with online follow-up practice between two week sessions

· Recurring sessions- complete an on-site program, follow up with online treatment, then complete another two week session in 3-4 months. We'll keep your progress going.

· Cost-effective- the presence of Dr. Bartels-Tobin and her associates in your area minimizes expenses for travel and housing making intensive treatment affordable for many more people

· Expertise- you will work with highly experienced, expert speech pathologists in both intensive and ongoing aphasia treatment both of whom have many years of aphasia rehabilitation experience. At your request we can also collaborate your efforts with your local speech pathologist or aphasia center.

· Effective outcomes-Visit http://stepstherapy.net/intensive-aphasia/ for information about intensive treatment. Visit http://stepstherapy.net/outcomes-testimonials/ for information from persons who have participated in intensive therapy and http://www.aphasiatoolbox.com/?q=accomplishments for information on online treatment outcomes.

This first of these cutting-edge, regional programs will be offered in northern Virginia, convenient to clients in VA; DC; MD; PA; NY; NJ; DE and WV. Clients may choose a 20 or a 10-hour per week schedule for the two weeks of the program. Clients supply their own meals and snacks, as well as provide for their personal care and medication regimens. A personal laptop is quite helpful. Our first 2-week session will be in the summer of 2011. Since few spaces are available, we recommend you contact us soon. Reservations require payment for the 2-week program in full at least one month in advance and spaces will be filled on a first-come basis. Those clients who cannot be accommodated for the initial session may be offered preference for the following session.
