Many of our Aphasia Center members have important caregivers in their lives. Some of them are family members; some of them are friends. This section of the website is for them.

Judy Dane is the wife of Paul Dane. They live in southern NH and come in to Boston regularly to attend the aphasia programs at the MGH Institute of Health Professions and Boston University.  

She welcomes inquiries about aphasia in general, the center at the MGH Institute, and questions about what it's like to live with a spouse with aphasia.

Judy can be reached at japrd13@comcast.net [1] or at (603) 329-4740.
