"A very significant addition to speech and language therapy practice." RCSLT Bulletin "The pack includes analysis and summary forms as well as very explicit links between assessment and individualised intervention...these materials are often lacking in published therapy programmes and are especially helpful...the pack provides very clear guidelines...overall it will be a very significant addition to speech and language therapy practice." - Linda Armstrong, SLT, Bulletin "The manuals are easy to read and use. They contain a sound theoretical background...Quotes from participants and practical tips from the lead clinician make it very easy to adapt the materials to the specific needs of various care groups. A useful addition to any department working with people with aphasia and their communication partners." - Tracey McDevitt, Senior SLT, St Mary's NHS Hospital Trust, London, Speech & Language Therapy in Practice
