Are you a member of the #Aphasia Community?
Are you looking for a different platform to continue your #aphasia connections with others?
I recommend taking a look at @Bluesky.
This link is a good starting point:

Excited to be talking in this @TheStrokeAssoc session on a topic very close to my heart: supporting people with aphasia help others with aphasia. Based on SUPERB trial. See also our course on setting up a peer befriending scheme city.ac.uk/prospective-stude… Online and self-directed.

What amazing outcomes from our 2024 ICAP. Exciting changes in use of technology, speed & fluency of reading, more balanced conversations with friends and ultimately participating more in conversations. Ongoing reflections with @clairefarring20

How do we choose what words or conversation topics to use as treatment stimuli in speech and language therapy?
This is not often reported in papers.
We asked a group of people with #aphasia what they thought:

The iTalkBetter clinical trial is out: tinyurl.com/5up6cc7m It's a self-supporting naming app that helps people with aphasia make large gains in their ability to retrieve trained words. Connected speech also improved and iTalkBetter use caused changes in brain volume #aphasia

The news re. this service is sad & shocking. Even as an SLT who has worked *forever*, I couldn't have navigated a possible #raredementia diagnosis in my family without the amazing expertise of @volkmer_anna & the #NHNN team. The service is a life -line, @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland
Together with @RareDementia & @dyscoveraphasia, @RCSLT is calling on @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland to urgently reinstate the only national specialist speech & language therapy service for people with primary progressive aphasia in England & Wales: nrtimes.co.uk/calls-for-urge… @RCSLTpolicy
