Presented our Mini creative CPT with Leeds NHS acute stroke ward & Leeds Museum & Galleries. Reflections:
1. Sharing challenges ๐ณ can inspire others to try
2. #creativehealth can help see the person behind a stroke
3. Perseverance needed

#BASConf25 great presentation right now about magic ingredients of โThe AphasicTheatreโ based in Canada. What an exciting example of #creativehealth approach to a personal recovery programme spoken about by Dr Molly Manning, raising awareness and making such programmes replicable !
This looks like a fantastic initiative!!

Love this esp. conversation between adult & baby. Turn-taking, one partner with no words. Reminds me of early motherhood & also bonding power of conversations despite communication differences: making comments, engaging topic, ๐contact, responding to intonation ๐ฅฐ. Fab!!
Heard of The British Aphasiology Society? Why not join this #AphasiaAwarenessMonth and attend the #BAS International Conference this Aug!? Weโre presenting progress with our Mini creative CPT with Leeds NHS acute stroke ward & Leeds Museum & Galleries

We are off to the #CareShowLondon tomorrow at ExCel! Canโt wait to find out all about innovative new practice in the care sector and (of course!!) to raise awareness of all things communication and the benefits of our Inclusive Conversation training!!
We had a lovely day spreading the word about #acquiredcommunicationdifferences and being an inclusive conversation partner with Retirement Villages Group last week. #aphasia #dysarthria #apraxia #retirementvillages #CPT
Did you know written in yellow box with lightbulb and laughter may be hiding embarrassment
Today is #NationalLetโsLaughDay
Did you know people with communication differences (#aphasia #dysarthria #apraxia) may use laughter to cover up embarrassment at struggling to find or say a word.
Let people know:
embarrassment not needed- take your time! Be an #inclusiveconversation partner.

#Aphasia #BSkySpeechies #SLT #PPA
By working together, we can change that! Weโre thrilled to be sharing our knowledge and supporting #RetirementVillagesGroup in making meaningful conversations possible for everyone. ๐
๐ข Watch this space for updates!
Hereโs why this matters:
๐น 1 in 5 of us will experience a change in our communication at some point in our lives.
๐น Right now, 364,000 people in the UK are living with aphasia.
๐น But shockingly, only 3% of the UK population knows what aphasia isโlet alone how to be an inclusive conversation partner.
In just one week, Lemonade from Lemons will be delivering our Inclusive Conversation Training to the incredible team at #RetirementVillagesGroupLtd! ๐
We canโt wait to work with them to explore how they can make their communities as communication-inclusive as possible.
The #BASConf25 abstract submission portal is open!
Submit your abstracts for presentations, panels, lightning talks, or posters here:

โข Submission Deadline: 17 Mar 2025, 9AM UK
