It was so encouraging to hear how much emphasis the @BigCACTUS_study has put on involving #PPI experts in every stage. The mutual respect between researcher, person w #aphasia and clinician was clear. xitter.cf/SLTLaurenL/status/1007…

Great to see initial findings from @RPalmerSLT @BigCACTUS_study at #ESOC018 - addition of computer based SLT can increase ability to lean words, but how can we better support functional communication?
