Intensive Conversation Groups

This clinic provides intensive Better Conversations speech and language therapy training for people with communication difficulties and a partner (spouse, partner, family member or friend).

This clinic provides two different intensive speech and language therapy interventions:

  • Conversation Group 1 is for people with speech and language difficulties associated with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and other overlapping conditions, and a partner (a spouse, partner, family member or friend).
  • Conversation Group 2 is for people who have aphasia after a stroke, and a partner (a spouse, partner, family member or friend).

The therapy is all delivered by student speech and language therapists, supervised by expert consultant speech and language therapists and researchers in the field of PPA and stroke aphasia.
