And did you watch Department Q on Netflix? The witness had aphasia apparently. Very poor portrayal of it.

Can you help grow $ for an international aphasia awareness campaign?

A/Prof Sarah J. Wallace @sarahjwallace.bsky.social · 26d

Imagine not being able to communicate. Imagine not having the words to explain why you can't.

We are raising funds for the first global #aphasia awareness campaign. Here's where we are up to!

Give if you can or host a morning tea or bake sale, & please share.

Nice! Is the influence slide what the RCSLT is doing or is it a general model?

I’ve donated to this. I hope everyone else will get behind it too. #aphasia

#Aphasia affects millions - yet awareness remains heartbreakingly low.

The Tavistock Trust for Aphasia have pledged AU$72,958 in funding to launch a co-designed awareness campaign...if we can match it.

Join us, share & #MatchtheMomentum

Don’t make the same mistake I did in the future. Changed my membership to ‘Retired’ when I retired (naturally). I was then paying for nothing, so stopped paying for having a retired membership. I expect I won’t be the last to fall off the list.

Good to see that navigating the system came through strongly. I wonder what the solution is. 😊

Linda Worrall @aphasiologist1.bsky.social · Jun 15

I think they could try Townsville or Cairns in June too. Much warmer!

Hello from across the Adriatic Sea in Malta. It’s pretty special too. Really, anywhere in the Mediterranean is amazing.
