Client Details
Referral for Support
This scheme supports clients to access video calls with a trained volunteer. When face to face contact is not possible, video calls enable clients to receive remote support from Speak With IT. On Zoom, people with aphasia can access therapy apps or supported conversation activities by utilising the screen sharing option with guidance from their volunteer.
Background information
Please provide all the relevant information pertaining to your client’s communication difficulties and any other relevant information that will help us to provide support. This may include details of any specific apps of therapy exercises the client is currently using.
e.g. do they attend any groups for support?
The charity now offers a 6 week online course for the family members and friends of a person with aphasia/apraxia of speech which helps to build their understanding of the condition. The course seeks to develop skills around supported conversation and the use of technology to support communication.
