Programme of Support

Individual assessment: A speech and language therapist creates a personalised support plan tailored to the client’s communication goals.

Home visits: A fully trained volunteer visits the client at-home to provide one-to-one support every two weeks for a period of six months.

iPad therapy: Clients access the charity's iPad loan scheme to use bespoke therapy apps, practicing between sessions.

Celebrate achievements: Milestones and progress are recognised to motivate and boost confidence.

Ongoing review: Progress is regularly reviewed by a speech and language therapist to ensure communication goals are met, next steps are clear, and future support is planned.

*Please note: One-to-one support is restricted to client's living in West Yorkshire (aged 18-64). We are currently operating a waiting list for this service. During this time, clients of all ages are encouraged to receive immediate and ongoing support via our Aphasia Cafe group settings (if appropriate).
