This is a look into non-clinical environments and how to make therapy for aphasia for accessible there! Removing barriers to using digital technology seems to be important! @hghinch#EauCLamarAphasia
An editorial illustration I made for Bulletin magazine for an article titled "Breaking Down Barriers" - about using technology to make therapy for aphasia more accessible in non-clinical environments.
Thanks to Yvey for AD. ๐

"Aphasia treatment works for some people... but many questions remain". How much recovery should we expect for an individual? Which treatment is better for an individual? Is there an optimal dose for specific treatments? What are the neural mechanisms of aphasia recovery?
