Aphasia researcher, Speech Language Pathologist, passionate about creating conversation opportunities and participation for all people with aphasia. And hey, for all people!
So thrilled to have this second study out about ECoLoGiC Treatment! 10 more people through our study protocol and what fun the SLPs, participants and I had, chatting about all kinds of things! And they got better 😊😊😊 Thanks for the tweet ASHA journals!
