At New Growth Group, we specialise in supporting individuals living with Primary Progressive Aphasia. PPA is a progressive neurological condition that primarily affects language skills including speaking, understanding, reading, and writing — while other cognitive abilities may remain relatively preserved in early stages. As communication becomes more challenging, daily routines, employment, relationships, and independence can be impacted. Frustration, social withdrawal, and reduced confidence are common experiences. Our team works closely with participants and families to design practical, stage-appropriate supports that focus on communication strategies, structured routines, and adaptive tools. We aim to reduce isolation, promote independence, and support families as communication needs evolve.
