WEEKLY PROGRAMS
GRASP
Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program
Many people who experience a stroke live with reduced arm and hand function afterwards. GRASP is an intensive 12-week physio program which improves arm and hand ability. For Delta’s stroke survivors, this translates into better independence, more confidence, and easier reintegration into our community.

DSRS offers weekly Speech Language programs online and in-person for stroke survivors with aphasia and apraxia -- common communication disorders affecting speech, comprehension, and the ability to read or write.
