@rtslt @NiamhDevane @EVAphasia A brilliant co-presented talk today followed by a panel where Bill talked about new, ongoing friendships after participating in the group intervention. We also discussed how to make app interventions available and sustainable in the longer-term.

Everyday communication involves sentences. 💬
@UCLLangCog we evaluate a digital #aphasia therapy for sentence processing. Prof Varley is presenting on the novel UTILISE app (funded by @TheStrokeAssoc) at the #UKSF23.

First fab #BetterConv2023 session on service user experiences of CPT. A partner says “You have to constantly relearn” in the context of PPA; another partner of a person with aphasia: “once a week didn’t feel like enough”. How best to support ongoing & intensive CPT?🤔 @BCconf2023

Brain scans are one (optional) part of the UTILISE project 🗣 My wonderful colleague @Fern_E_Rodgers explains what they are and why we are collecting this data from those who are eligible. Read more here and don’t miss the fascinating video of a structural scan ⬇️
