We are thrilled to announce that we are extending our UTILISE timeline!
After COVID-19 put our project on pause for more than a year, we were very excited to re-start in late 2021, at which point we had an expected end-date of October 2022.
However, we are now able to confirm that we will run until March 2023!
We are very grateful to our funder, The Stroke Association, for agreeing to extend our no-cost extension request.
This means we will be able to recruit more participants and collect more data.
Aphasia affects more than 350,000 people in the UK, so, it is incredibly important that we learn more about how to help people with aphasia to rebuild their language abilities. Lots of research has looked at rehabilitation on the single-word level. We are investigating sentence-level rehabilitation using a usage-based Construction Grammar framework (learn more here).
When it comes to therapy trials, the bigger the better! So, if you, or someone you know, might be interested in taking part, please contact Fern or Claudia by email or telephone to discuss what taking part would involve.
