We love aphasiatherapyonline.com A FREE (yes, free!) aphasia therapy resource by @JohnPierce85 that was designed for people who can't afford an iPad & apps or computer software. Offered in 5 languages, with more on the way, this is a great part of an aphasia therapist's toolkit

Here’s a wee TikTok of me vlogging the process of making my puréed pancakes. It was interesting to reflect on the measures that I had to take to get the food to be the correct consistency and to think about the time it took and how this could impact socialising. #MyStudentSLTDay

None of us know what we are made of but #braininjury is slowly teaching us that we are tougher, stronger, smarter than we ever knew. It's also teaching compassion, diligence &an ability to empathize. It's making us better humans who know how to focus on what really matters.

One of our team, @Amber_M_SLT, found this app recently. A really useful, visually based app for complying a shopping list. We think it would be great to try with some of our aphasic clients. Available on Apple and Android weneed.ch/en
