- To provide in-service training programs.
- To establish and maintain a registry of members and clinical services.

- To stimulate and develop cooperative aphasia research programs related to aphasia, other communication problems, and/or dysphagia arising from neurological dysfunctions.
I thank you for taking the time to visit here and learn about our organization. While our site and organization exist first to support our membership, located primarily in Ohio, we seek to serve the need of our communication and swallowing handicapped clients and to invite the participation of non-member communication disorder and allied health professionals.
The following table of links will take you to various informative pages. The links on the right should be of interest to professionals as well as those in the general public seeking information on neurogenic communication and swallowing disorders. Information in the middle and right columns lead to information regarding the leadership of AAO and membership benefits and oportunities.
We have existed since 1972 but have recently reassessed and reorganized our goals and procedures to better meet the needs of a rehabilitation profession in the electronic information age. We are interested in you reaction to our page and any suggestions or requests you have to offer. There is a link at the bottom of this page to facilitate contacting us.
