I am tickled pink 🥰
In 1998 I chose a tool to measure social networks in ppl w aphasia for my PhD & published about it in 2003 & 2006, and share/teach it with students and SLTs.
Sitting here in #BCconf23 and carers & therapists use this tool!

Honoured to have shared our experience delivering a pilot #ICAP at #RCSLTConf2023 with @LibbyAllanSLT - the volume of questions we've received demonstrates SLTs' interest to advancing #aphasia rehab. IMO A positive step forward!

Thank you @MadelineCruice for sharing this important work 👏

Aphasia Partnership Training (APT) is dyadic- targeting the PWA & CP and working with stakeholders to develop the programme
A concensus was reached that APT should include instruction/feedback, setting goals, solving communication problems, demonstration & much more!#BASConf23

First of our oral presentations is @MadelineCruice sharing her work with @BCAphasia and team on how they developed a communication partner training programme, considering research & evidence, lived experience and clinical perspectives #BASConf23 #aphasia
The APT Project retweeted
Results - full consensus achieved on 16 BCTs, linked to 11 MoAs
Couldn't write quick enough to share all of these! Such incredible detail and specificity @APTproject2
There is overlap with existing literature with 5 BCTs so these are key:

More talks from the #NIHR funded @APTproject2, now @RPalmerSLT shares what outcomes ppl with aphasia, family members & SLTs expect
What do we need to measure? The systematic reviews use 56 different outcomes measures. Perhaps we are not that clear on what change we are expecting
The APT Project retweeted
@APTproject2 56 systemic reviews of CPT found 56 different outcome measures! Stakeholders asked ❔what do we expect from what we’re doing
➡️ agreement from all that improvements in convos and thoughts/feelings are v important @BASConf2023
The APT Project retweeted
Really enjoyed hearing about the @APTproject2 by @MadelineCruice and @RPalmerSLT – particularly 1.key ingredients that should be in every communication partner training and 2. Does improvement of ‘talking’ mean something different to PWA and SLTs? @BASConf2023 #BASConf2023

Our next oral presentation is @RPalmerSLT sharing work on communication partner training and the outcomes that people with aphasia and their family members expect from CPT #BASConf23 #aphasia @BASConf2023

This time, we've looked at how instruction and demonstration can help families living with #aphasia after #stroke to develop their communication skills. Can you spot the difference between instruction and demonstration? Have a go at the polls - answers will be revealed next week!
Hi everyone! We're back again to shed some light on #behaviourchangetheory in the context of communication partner training(#CPT) for people with #aphasia & their families.
In part 5 in our series, we're looking at how families might develop communication SKILLS... (1/n)
