Do you have aphasia from a stroke in the last 4 months?
We are looking for people with aphasia to trial an online aphasia therapy called M-MAT Tele.
M-MAT Tele is a group therapy that aims to improve talking for people with aphasia.
A speech pathologist provides therapy to a group of three (3) people with aphasia.
You would receive thirty(30) hours of online therapy.
Therapy would be two hours per day, three days each week over five weeks.
You can continue other therapy as well. There would be no charge for this therapy.
We are looking for Australian adults who:
- Have aphasia from a stroke
- Spoke English before their stroke
- Don’t have another neurological condition (for example: head injury, dementia)
- Can start therapy 3-6 months after their stroke
- Can use a tablet, iPad or computer for online therapy
- Don’t have severe slurred speech or severe apraxia of speech (we can check for you)
If you might be interested, please contact:
Dr John Pierce, Speech Pathology researcher at La Trobe University.
