Free aphasia practice plan
Not sure which aphasia exercises are right for you, or where to start?
Whether you have aphasia after a stroke or you’re supporting someone who does, this free guide helps you find practice that fits. Answer 10 short questions, try some optional activities, and get a personal practice plan with goals that matter to you.
It’s designed to use alongside speech and language therapy: between sessions, while you’re waiting to be seen, or to keep your skills going day to day.
What you’ll get

Everyday goals, such as chatting with family, phone calls or ordering in a café
Tips for family and friends to help conversations go more smoothly
A copy to email to your speech and language therapist, or print
Who it’s for
Adults with aphasia after a stroke, brain injury or other condition, and their partners, family members and carers. A family member can answer for someone, or alongside them.
