The iTalkBetter clinical trial is out: 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

Moving interview on #BBC5 with Caroline (person with aphasia) and Beth (speech and language therapist) on their transformative experiences of taking part in the Queen Square ICAP. Scroll forward to 2hr 24mins. @BrainAppeal @uclh @NHNN_therapies

Hear Caroline talking about her experiences of having aphasia and of being on the Queen Square ICAP on BBC Radio 4's The World at One (36m:26s)

If we want people with #aphasia to use our therapy apps, then we'd better make sure they are involved in designing them. Great co-design work from @Tom_Langford_ the @UCL_NT team and software developer @PedroQuiley. Kudos to @ZWoodhead and Dr Sheila Kerry who laid the groundwork.

What do people with #aphasia want from our ICAP at Queen Square @ucl @uclh? Authored by: @CathDoogan @BethGooding4 @CrinionJenny

Ever wondered how a patient's sense of self-belief might affect their outcomes? Come and hear Dr Steve Fleming talk about it on Thurs 21st April 17:30 in person @QueenSquare or online. Free registration.

Four short neuro rehab talks at 5.30pm tomorrow. Free sign up on eventbrite.

One way to provide higher doses is to set up Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Programmes. @CrinionJenny is presenting our work on this from the ICAP set up at @UCLIoN and @NHNN_therapies at UK Stroke Forum now #UKSF21 #UKSFaphasia

Not surprising perhaps, but more high-level meta-analysis-based evidence (from 959 people with aphasia) that we need to provide much higher doses of speech and language therapy if we want to make the lives of people with aphasia better. #RELEASE #asphasia

For those of you wanting a more digestible account of the evidence-base behind our newly-released reading therapy app iReadMore, for people with reading problems caused by stroke or dementia. See the video I made with @ZWoodhead about our 2018 Brain paper:
