Speech, Language and Hearing Laboratory (SLHlab)@slhlab.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Just published in open access; we are tremendously proud to have contributed to this landmark paper: Brady et al. (2025). European Stroke Organisation Guideline on Aphasia Rehabilitation. European Stroke Journal 10(4), 1189-1220. doi.org/10.1177/2396...

Yep. Agree that the problem is in “implementing the findings from a well-established evidence-base over the last decade within a health care context promoting person-centred care”. Its embarrassing.

Can you help grow $ for an international aphasia awareness campaign?

Imagine not being able to communicate. Imagine not having the words to explain why you can't. We are raising funds for the first global #aphasia awareness campaign. Here's where we are up to! Give if you can or host a morning tea or bake sale, & please share. www.justgiving.com/campaign/qar...

#BASConf25 We’re listening for any reports on papers and posters. What’s new in the world of #aphasia?

I’ve donated to this. I hope everyone else will get behind it too. #aphasia

John E Pierce@jepierce.bsky.social · last yr.

We know communication partner training is extremely important for carers of people w #aphasia, but what about other interventions? Our PhD candidate @nelsonjslp.bsky.social conducted a review. There are lots of promising approaches! Most with exploratory evidence only. doi.org/10.1080/0963...

Functional communication is an outdated term in aphasia. Doedens paper provides a good rationale for the criteria but it begs the question why add context etc to clinical tasks when real life is just out the door.
