Aphasia SA

Aphasia SA Aphasia SA is a membership organisation. You can join Aphasia SA for $20 each year.

Aphasia SA (previously known as Talkback Association for Aphasia Inc) is run by volunteers to support South Australians with a language impairment called aphasia. Aphasia SA (previously Talkback Association for Aphasia Inc) is a volunteer-run association in South Australia that provides support for people with aphasia, their families, and carers. The association was specifically designed for peopl

e with aphasia, with the involvement of people with aphasia, their families and carers, and speech pathologists. Aphasia is a language impairment resulting from stroke, brain tumour, head injury, or degenerative disease, which impacts the ability to speak, understand speech, read, and write. People with aphasia may experience limited occupational, family, and social roles, and altered relationships and quality of life resulting from their communication difficulties. Aphasia SA aims to:
• Provide information and support.
• Raise public and professional awareness of aphasia.
• Promote social opportunities and conversation through Talkback Groups and regular social events.
• Help develop social and self-help groups and programs.
• Develop advocacy skills.
• Support people with aphasia to develop confidence in their communication, and take control over their own lives. Aphasia SA

APHASIA ACCESSIBILITY & READABILITY GUIDELINES 📄

Aphasia SA is very excited to share our new guidelines for making written information more accessible and readable for people with aphasia.

We hope the guidelines are helpful for health professionals, organisations, community groups, and anyone wanting to make their communication more aphasia-friendly.

By making small changes to the way information is presented, we can help ensure communication is more inclusive and accessible for everyone.

A big thank you to University of Adelaide Speech Pathology students who created these guidelines for us as part of an Industry Honours project.

The guidelines can also be found under the Resources tab on our website: https://www.aphasia.asn.au/resources

Researchers from LaTrobe University want to hear from people with aphasia!

They want to know about how people with aphasia use technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life.

It's OK if you know a lot about AI or not much.

If you are interested, contact Matthew using the details on the flyer 😊
