This clinic provides intensive speech and language therapy for people with communication difficulties and a partner (spouse, partner, family member or friend) based around better conversations.
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).
