IPAT follows the intensive comprehensive aphasia program (ICAP) service delivery model that addresses both communication skills and life participation for the person living with aphasia and their support partners. Studies have shown that an intensive approach to aphasia treatment, in which many hours of therapy are provided over a short time, improves communication and psychosocial well-being for people with aphasia compared to standard speech therapy.

IPAT occurs Monday through Friday, 3-4 hours each day, for a 2-week cycle. Participants receive individual therapy tailored to their goals using evidence-based treatment, along with group sessions that focus on functional communication, education and life participation. Other activities such as art, pet therapy and chair yoga are included. Care partners are offered opportunities for communication training, education and support.

Participants receive a comprehensive language assessment before the start of the therapy cycle and at the end of the cycle. Person-centered goals are discussed and incorporated into treatment planning.

All therapy is conducted by licensed and experienced speech-language pathologists.

Opportunities to participate in language research may also be available.

Adults with aphasia who are medically stable and can maintain active and safe participation in the intensive model and group therapy. No exclusion on the basis of aphasia severity or time post-onset alone. All prospective participants will be screened to ensure potential benefit from the program.

The program has several cycles throughout the year.

• September 8–19, 2025
• November 10–21, 2025
