😍 You know how much @RCSLT loves doing - and combining - as much awareness-raising as possible. 🪨 So it's great to do a bit of #RockingAphasia as we head off to #Leeds for tonight's event.
🪨 A bad dose of food poisoning might have scuppered my #RockingAfasia contribution this year, but @RCSLT's @GivingVoiceUK is going on tour. 🚆 So we're #RockingAphasia outside The Greatest Station. #Aphasia #KingsCross #HaveRockWillTravel #Yorkshire #TheNorth

#aphasia is a #hidden disability. It affects understanding, reading, talking and writing but not intelligence. Living with aphasia, in a world that hasn’t heard of it is tough! @NETA_Aphasia have a message … will you help? #AphasiaAwareJune @RockingAphasia #RockingAphasia

⬇️ 3 supports used most often with highest efficacy were “ask follow-up/probing questions” “closed, yes/no questions” & “additional time”. 3 supports used least were “give person pen to write”“prompt to wear glasses/communication aid”& “photo/pictorial support”. – at Brisbane, Queensland

171,146 words in English language & we can find the one we want in a nano second. Donald & Michael explain the chaos & frustration of what happens when our incredible neural, word finding, networks breakdown. #Aphasia even creeps into their dreams #AphasiaAwarenessMonth

The best advocates for better #aphasia services are people with aphasia themselves with the support of family, friends and professionals. Pls tell all your aphasia community about this conference in Coventry, UK 14&15 April, 2024. Register here: forms.office.com/pages/respo… – at Brisbane, Queensland
