The Conversation Partner scheme is supported by the Community Speech & Language Therapy Stroke Team. This service works with people with acquired speech and language difficulties following a stroke.
Individuals are unique in their communication needs and profile; some have comprehension difficulties (making it hard to follow spoken language and/ or written text) and expressive difficulties (including problems with finding words, constructing sentences, writing and spelling). In this role, people with acquired speech and language difficulties are visited in their own homes or a mutually convenient location once a week or fortnight for support with their communication, accessing opportunities for conversation and social inclusion.
The Conversation Partner scheme is supported by the Community Speech & Language Therapy Stroke team in Nottinghamshire covering Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark, Broxtowe, Gedling, Hucknall and Rushcliffe.
We will promote your training event via our website training diary, social media, newsletter and database.
