Last summer I had the pleasure to collaborate with speech & language therapist Shani Ackford from the AAC West (NHS). Supported by a grant from NIHR, Shani researches the use of AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) in aphasia. During a focus group, Shani identified the type of AAC people use, what does it help them with, what do they want their AAC to help them with and what would help to make it better.
It was fascinating to live illustrate the discussions of the participants and give another dimension to their lived experience of aphasia. Shani summarises her findings in this video.
