UK-wide aphasia project awarded £3.8 million to improve post-stroke communication | City St George's, University of London Project plans to co-design and evaluate a novel communication partner training (CPT) programme

I’ve not posted in ages but this is newsworthy - I’m delighted we’ve been awarded funding for APT for this incredible project supporting communication for families with aphasia - leading with Prof Rebecca Palmer and a stellar team!!!! www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/news-and-eve...

So great to have you at both conferences and to spend time with you!

And a few more memories and posters of the symposium. The other keynotes Jacinta Douglas and Susan Howell reminded us of connection, belonging and asserting our role as SLT!

At the #CCDSymp2025 I presented on communication partner training, dating & creating collaborations. So many amazing talks, posters and opportunities for networking with therapists @leannetogher.bsky.social reminding us of the words of the late Audrey Holland & stories of Mark Ylvisaker

Jacinta Douglas is opening the 4th CCD Symposium to almost 167 attendees in person and online.

What is meaning to you? Good starting reflection as to how to build connection & relationships post-injury #CCDSymp2025
