Communication Support for Stroke Survivors

Our Communication Support service works with stroke survivors who are living with communication difficulties, such as aphasia. Our service can offer you opportunities to develop communication strategies, rebuild confidence and independence, and help you to rebuild your life after stroke. Our service offers support driven by the identified needs and desired outcomes of both the stroke survivor and carer. Who is this service for?
