Volunteers sought for online aphasia communication group, Maine Edge reports
The Maine Edge published a University of Maine news release announcing participants are being sought for an online aphasia communication group as part of a research project being led by Judy Walker, an associate professor of communication sciences and disorders. The project aims to determine if people with aphasia — a disruption in the ability to communicate typically caused by a stroke — can benefit from participation in an online communication group. Participants will use their home computers and a secure video conferencing system to meet with others who have aphasia for 1.5 hours per week for 12 weeks.
