A group of people with aphasia are working together to develop and carry out self care activities that are low cost, long term and self sustaining.
The Connect Project Lead is a person with aphasia, and the Connect-ed Advisory Group is formed of people with aphasia.
The specific goals are to:
- create pilot events or activities led by people with aphasia and benefiting people with communication disabilities
- carry out these user-led activities in the community
- produce ways for other user-led groups in the community to design and carry out events
