Our guidance on acquired brain injury is out for consultation. We're inviting input from SLTs, relevant organizations & the public.

We want to hear from individuals w/ brain injuries & their families to ensure the guidance is comprehensive & inclusive.

If you’d like to experiment with increasing dose within your aphasia service, this practical book shares lots of ideas for holistic aphasia interventions as well as implementing an ICAP service. @JeanRutter4 @BethGooding4 @catherineoff @MadelineCruice @CathySparkes @volkmer_anna

The wonderful Helen Moffatt was on @ThePianoUK yesterday evening! Helen has #PPA and wrote her composition all about how it feels to have these communication difficulties - what a ray of hope for others @RareDementia @dyscoveraphasia

[The National Brain Appeal @BrainAppeal]

Did Helen’s performance move you? You can now download her original composition ‘Out of the Box’ from our online shop with all proceeds going to @RareDementia - a support service that we proudly fund 💜 https://t.co/YjhQ2EGVCC

"In our uniqueness, we make harmony." I've been looking out for this episode of @ThePianoUK since Helen spoke about her #PPA at the recent PPA awareness day organised by @volkmer_anna and @RosemaryTowns15. Well done Helen, you communicate with huge eloquence. @RareDementia

[The Piano @ThePianoUK]

When you have no words, the piano can say so much. Helen's 'Out Of The Box'. #ThePiano

We are doing a survey to understand why other professionals do/don't refer people with Primary Progressive Aphasia for speech-language support

We want Drs, nurses, psychologists, social workers, OTs, PTs & any other profession.
