@PaulCon29684532 @ReSNetSLT Agreed. We use qualitative exit interviews to explore impact of @Communi_CATE therapies. #ReSNetSLT

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@ReSNetSLT We ran a dissemination event for people with aphasia and families at end of @Communi_CATE research project. Shared our findings and gave chance for hands-on demos/trials of the tech. Sparked lots of discussions and worked really well.

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@EllieJSLT @JayneLindsay16 @ThielLindsey @ReSNetSLT Yes we find that with some clients too, though people can be more forgiving of errors in text messages as we all make them! #ReSNetSLT

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@slt_fi Our emailing task OM is timed so taps into this. Sometimes find trade-offs between speed, accuracy and amount written but using voice recognition accuracy and amount written often improves as well as speed.

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@KatieMonnelly We also use Grammarly, it works as a free Chrome browser extension

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@ReSNetSLT @Communi_CATE You can read some examples of #aphasia writing using #assistive tech on our @communicate blog https://t.co/OKH6RPoZLn

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@ReSNetSLT Narrative writing for PWA using #assistive tech is a major focus of our work at @Communi_CATE aphasia clinic #resnetslt

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@PaulCon29684532 So true! We have mainly moved away from using special software in @Communi_CATE as mainstream devices are now so good for accessibility, and socially acceptable to use

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@ReSNetSLT The emiling assessment is described in this paper https://t.co/5i6vk1bxE6

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@ReSNetSLT We developed an emailing task as an outcome measure in our research, is very close to everyday writing and good for showing change post-therapy

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@slt_fi @ReSNetSLT @Communi_CATE Yes, planning and mindmapping can really help thinking for writing, especially with longer narratives

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@PaulCon29684532 @ReSNetSLT @Communi_CATE Agreed, for some people our therapy goals are exactly that. Assistive tech makes it possible for many ppl, even with severe aphasia

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@ReSNetSLT Hello from the lockdown @Communi_CATE aphasia clinic @CityLCS in London

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@Cricksoft @Communi_CATE @CityLCS Hello @Cricksoft, I am keen to talk to you about this. Can you let me know who I should contact? Thanks!

[Celia Woolf @AphasiaResearch]

@Kirstiney82 @jytteisaksen @ShigginsC @dyscoveraphasia @aphasia_lab @PLORASResearch Thank you to all the organisers at #ASAQLD2018 for inviting me from London to present our @Communi_CATE #aphasiatech research. I came away feeling inspired by so many great talks!

[Crick Software @Cricksoft]

@AphasiaResearch it's great to hear lots of people tweeting about the technology assisted writing session at #asaqld2018 and mentioning our writing tool DocsPlus! We would love to find out a bit more about how you used it if you have a copy of the presentation/research findings?
