Who are we?
The Project is carried out by:
Dr. Helen Kelly
Áine Kearns
Aoife Daly
Anthony Murphy
- We are Speech and Language Therapists
- We work in the Speech and Hearing Sciences department of University College Cork
- We wanted to make a website that is accessible for people and is easy to follow
- We needed to know what way people with aphasia would like the website to look and what information they would want
Four (4) people with aphasia agreed to take part in the research and help us make the website.
Meet the people who participated in creating this website.
