Annual Report 2014/15

Life’s a Conversation

Founder Pat Arato,in conversation

with client Luciano &volunteer Francesca

Aphasia Language involves the ability to speak and understand, as well as the ability to read and write. Aphasia is a language problem related to an injury to the brain, most commonly stroke. This language difficulty masks the fact that people with aphasia are inherently competent and leads to an inability to participate in life’s conversations and experiences. Aphasia puts every human relationship, every life role, and most daily activities at huge risk.

The Aphasia Institute Founded in 1979 by Pat Arato, the Aphasia Institute is a Canadian community-based centre of excellence, pioneering programs and practices thathelp people with aphasia learn how tocommunicate in new ways and begin tonavigate their own lives again. Throughdirect service, research, education andtraining, the Aphasia Institute has built an international reputation as a worldleader and educator in aphasia.

Our promise to people with aphasia and their families: We help you navigate your life one conversation at a time.

From Our Treasurer…In 2014/15, the Aphasia Institute had $11,000 of revenue in excess of expenditures.

Although funding from grants decreased, this was offset by an increase in donations, fundraising, resource sales, members’ fees,training income and investment income. The total expenses of the Institute remained relatively consistent with the prior year.

In the current year, the Institute received an endowment of $1 million. The Institute expects to earn approximately $25,000 annuallyin investment income earned on the endowment funds which will go towards funding research and educational activities.

Notes To The Condensed FinancialStatements For The Year Ended March 31, 2015

Significant Accounting Policies

The Institute prepares its financial statements in conformity with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimatedand collection is reasonably assured. Restricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year inwhich related expenses are incurred. Capital assets arerecorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimateduseful lives. Funds received for the acquisition of capitalassets are deferred and amortized on the same basis as the related capital assets. Endowment Fund investmentsare carried at amortized cost. Investments outside of the Endowment Fund are valued at year-end quoted closing prices.

Some amounts in these statements are based on estimatesand assumptions made by the Institute. By their nature,such estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty, although all of them are believed to be reasonable.

Beginning Conversation: Forging ahead…Over the past year, we worked long and hard to be able to publicly articulate who we are and how wecontribute to the lives of individuals and families living with aphasia. Life’s a Conversation is the result. It defines the very essence of the Aphasia Institute and speaks confidently and succinctly to our understanding of the impact of aphasia.

We know that without the ability to communicate, every single life relationship and role, and almost all life activities, are at enormous risk. This is where the Aphasia Institute steps in. As this report will highlight in the following pages, we focus on working in partnership with our clients (both individuals and families), volunteers, staff and you, our donors and supporters, to ensure that thephrase Life’s a Conversation becomes a reality.

We do this via our direct service where we learn from people with aphasia and their families on a dailybasis; we do this via our research and development programs; and we then share with others all ofwhat we have learned and developed so that people with aphasia and their families can benefit fromour experience across Ontario, Canada, and internationally.

The central role of Conversation is also at the core of our new website, where you can see evidence ofone of our major accomplishments – the final stages of our three-year Ontario Trillium Foundation grantthat supported the development of a new entity called ParticiPics: pictures to aid in conversation.

We want to thank all who have been involved in helping us to deliver our evidence-based, leading-edgeservice – our donors, community partners, volunteers, staff and most of all, our clients. We are grateful to the Central LHIN and Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for funding our direct service, and we are committed to generating additional revenue to fund our mission to share our work with others.

“I was so excited to see the launch of ParticiPics – an important resource for so many people

around the world!” Dr. Miranda Rose, Associate Professor, Australian

Research Council Future Fellow, La Trobe University

We are pleased to announce the completion and launch of ParticiPics,funded by a generous grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

ParticiPics includes: a new searchable, digitized library of individual pictographic images; thematically organized pictographic booklets; and a dynamic range of clinical assessment tools and templates. Theseresources are all available under one umbrella for the very first time.

ParticiPics gives people with aphasia access to customized conversations that would otherwise not be possible – conversationscritical to participating fully in everyday life at home, in the community,and with healthcare providers.

We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of Shore Consulting GroupInc., Art & Science, and Public Inc. to this exciting new endeavour.

Research and DevelopmentReciprocity in action!

There is a unique reciprocal relationship between our clients and our research. While our research informs us how to best respond to our clients’changing needs, the input our clients give to that research also informs the development and content of our products and services. In turn, theseproducts and services benefit our own clients as well as people with aphasia and their families all over the world. This reciprocity is key to the Aphasia Institute’s international reputation.

In 2014, we launched four new resources,including (and pictured above, with SLP &staff member Lisa Samson) Talking toYour Speech-Language Pathologist, Talking to Your Hearing Professional, and Talking to Your Bank.

Grassroots FundraisingMaking a difference in ourown community... together

Annual AppealThis past year’s annual appeal focused on the courageous story of our client, Camilla,and her arduous journey from chaos to conversation. By participating in research at the Aphasia Institute, Camilla was able to harness her independent spirit and regain much of what she had lost. Our generous donors contributed close to $30,000, supporting research and development that makes a real-life difference to individuals and families living with aphasia.

“I needed reassurance that I was goingto get better and get back to enjoying

my life. I will never be the same person,but I certainly feel like myself again.”

A word from our auditorTo the Directors of the Aphasia Institute:

The accompanying condensed statements of financial position, revenues, expenditures, and net assets are derived from the complete financialstatements of the Aphasia Institute as at March 31, 2015 and for the year then ended on which I expressed a qualified audit opinion, which is a

common practice with respect to charitable organizations, in my Independent Auditor’s Report dated June 22, 2015.

The fair summarization of the complete financial statements is the responsibility of the Institute. My responsibility, in accordance with the applicable Assurance Guideline of CPACanada, is to report on the condensed financial statements.

In my opinion, the accompanying condensed financial statements fairly summarize, in all material respects, the related complete financial statements in accordance with the criteria described in the Guideline referred to above.

Since these are condensed financial statements, readers are cautioned that these statements may not be appropriate for their purposes.
