Overview
Mission
Improving quality of life for all impacted by aphasia by overcoming communication barriers at home and in our communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
During the year, the aphasia center directly served 237 individuals impacted by aphasia and offered 5,105 program hours in both skilled life participation and social groups. The total numbers directly served represent an 81% increase in the need for our services over the previous year. Additionally, the center provided 1,218 hours of transportation to ensure people with aphasia had access to our services. A large part of the services the center offers the community involves no cost access to the expertise of our licensed speech pathologists. The center provided 234 hours of skilled, clinical consultation and education services at no charge. Without the services we offer, the permian basin and surrounding areas would have no long-term services for people suffering from chronic communication and language loss. People with aphasia often feel isolated and are frequently marginalized within their own families and the community at large. At the aphasia center of west Texas, we remain committed to improving the quality of life for all impacted by aphasia by overcoming communication barriers both at home and in our communities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
