I’ve not posted in ages but this is newsworthy - I’m delighted we’ve been awarded funding for APT for this incredible project supporting communication for families with aphasia - leading with Prof Rebecca Palmer and a stellar team!!!! www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/news-and-eve...
We're increasingly ensuring that dissemination is a standalone workpackage in our grants. Work led by the team in Leicester during our NIHR PGfAR resulted in the GuiDiR dissemination framework, which provides a structure for dissemination activities : www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Many thanks to all contributing authors, @seckin1984.bsky.social for co-leading this special issue together, #CATS @madelinecruice.bsky.social for supporting international collaborative aphasia projects, and the #Aphasiology editorial team for their trust this project! 4/4
This special issue was put together to diversify the currently available #aphasia literature and to achieve more cross-cultural and cross-linguistic representation in aphasia research. This is important since most aphasia research is predominantly representative of the English speaking world! 3/4
This SI reflects the work of multiple teams of the #CollaborationofAphasiaTrialists #CATS (WG2: Aphasia Assessments and Outcomes): 11 articles reporting research with and for non-English speaking people with aphasia (10 languages across the globe) on aphasia assessment and other related topics 2/4
I am very happy to announce the publication of our editorial for the special issue: Across countries and cultures: The #assessment of #aphasia in linguistically diverse clinical populations in #Aphasiology Free access! #SLPeeps #Linguistics🧵1/4 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

At #CGVC2024 today to share all that has been happening in the Dara Project at City University
Come and say hello and hear about accessible #datavis for people living with language disabilities, #aphasia and #DLD
Information sheet requesting research participation for Project dara. It says: "The Dara project 'Exploring Information' is looking for adults with Aphasia or Developmental Language Disorder' to explore visualisations." It goes on to explain "About the research" (data visualization for everyday decision making); "What will happen" (language assessment and diary exercise); and "Why this research is important" (existing research in data visualization doesn't consider language needs). If you are interested please contact Niamh.devane.2@city.ac.uk for more information.
The dara project is looking for adults (>18yrs) with #aphasia or developmental language disorder #DLD to take part research.
We are exploring how people with communication needs use visual information.
If you'd like to take part, we'd love to hear from you!
Screenshot of the first Dara advisory committee zoom call. 13 people are shown smiling at the camera from different Zoom windows. In the largest speaker view shot, 6 people are seated around a meeting table. The Dara logo comprising the word 'dara' and a green oak leaf is shown in the bottom left corner. Everyone looks happy.
Today is #WorldStrokeDay.
Our new EPSRC-funded Dara project is investigating and creating inclusive data visualization to support personal decision-making for people with communication impairments, including those with aphasia after stroke.
