Episode 7: Aphasia Perspectives

The UCL Giving Voice Podcast returns for Aphasia Awareness Month, June 2021! Aphasia is a language disorder which can develop as a result of a brain injury such as a stroke. Aphasia can impact someone’s ability to understand and use language to express themselves. Hosted by Holly Stanford and Julia Berry, two final year MSc Speech and Language Sciences students at UCL, this episode features interviews with Asitha Jayawardena and Richard Playle speaking about their experiences of living with Aphasia.
