Mind is buzzing! Just met wonderful Elissa Larkin at #think+speaklab at beautiful @AbilityLab in Chicago - SO much to think about: wider implementation of CPT & researchers & clinicians in the same space. Inspiring! @BCAphasia @RCSLTResearch @Nikki_Hafter @bennygoldstein2

Just completed #aphasia training session with Cuckfield #strokeassociation group. After 45 minutes member talk turned from feeling overwhelmed and what to do if cues don’t work- to importance of visual aids, conversations matter and we are equal. @BCAphasia principles 🥰

Fab #aphasia communication training session with Cuckfield stroke club. Concerns at start “feeling overwhelmed” and “feeling like a twit” changed to “yes- checking back you’ve understood” and “visual aids are so important” “conversation matters!”🥰
