The iTalkBetter clinical trial is out: https://t.co/3F1Xl4XhrA 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

Such fantastic insights from those living with #aphasia @BASConf2023. Some really important points for #SLTs to be aware of when working with people with aphasia, especially knowing what additional support we can signpost both during and following intervention #BasConf2023

In response to recent #EoL conversations about whether we should focus on nutrition or on comfort when dying people lose their appetites: It's normal to lose interest in food during dying. Here's a thread about it ⬇️
With thanks to @richardodurrant for permission to share our DMs. Worries about lack of nutrition at the end of life are very common, & should always be taken seriously. I'm talking here about dying from an illness, & how dying impacts appetite & gut function. cc @APMPostTweets 1/

Exploring the impact of #stroke on the participants’ lives in our #ICAP group today, one of four different groups we are running as part of the programme
#ICAP Week1, Day 3 Group discussion about pts’ stroke journey today allowed time to share aims and hopes. For #SLTs this can be as inspiring as draining. Team debriefing, keeping a diary for reflections and maintaining a work-life balance is key to preserve energy! #aphasia
