We are very sad to hear of the death of speech and language therapist Carole Pound, who made a significant contribution to the profession, particularly in the field of aphasia. Our thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.

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 🥰

#BASConf24 reflections day 1: (A) Did you know fox’s glacier mints came from # Leicester? (B) Aura Kagan talked about trade offs with therapy options we can’t do it all (time/money limitations) - do we discuss trade offs with clients to alignwith their values? Food 4 thought…

This represents several years’ work led by @rose_mirandaros @cats_aphasia funded by Tavistock Trust for Aphasia. Included therapy profiles were authored by those who developed & tested the therapies. Dozens of reviewers & user testers ensured the accuracy & usability of the tool.
https://t.co/cPXjLPJwsd contains evidence summaries, resources, how-to videos and more for 25 evidence-based #aphasia treatments. Registration is free. An essential item in the aphasia clinician's toolkit. Please share far and wide!
