Adler Aphasia Center, the metropolitan area’s first dedicated aphasia support and community center, provides people with aphasia, their caregivers, speech pathologists and the medical community with information, programs, workshops, lectures and other opportunities for support and empowerment. Aphasia, a communication disorder affecting nearly 1 million Americans, is most frequently acquired through brain injury such as stroke. While very common, the condition is often undiagnosed and untreated. Our education campaign embraced a number of approaches, from public relations to community relations, grass roots marketing, media relations to

public relations to promote health industry awareness. Each approach contributed to enhancing public and health professional awareness of aphasia. Raker Goldstein conceived and coordinated Aphasia Awareness Day, an educational event and celebration of what can be accomplished by people with aphasia. The successful event, which received Mayoral proclamation, brought together over 200 civic and state dignitaries, speech pathologists, social workers, hospital staff, aphasics and their caregivers and the news media. To date, Adler Aphasia Center has been featured on WINS-AM 1010 Radio (the nation's most listened to talk radio station), WABC-TV, WMBC-TV, NJN-TV, News 12 New Jersey Television, The Record, The Shopper News, PrimeTimes in Bergen, County Seat, Lifemanagement.com/nextsteps and The Bergen County Council of Churches website. Raker Goldstein generated over 46,000,000 consumer impressions on behalf of aphasia and Adler Aphasia Center, and the number continues to grow.

Thanks to our relationship with Raker Goldstein, we have been able to acquaint millions of people with Adler Aphasia Center’s distinctive programs and increase awareness of aphasia generally. We wholeheartedly recommend Raker Goldstein & Co.
