Stroke Club (Aphasia) - Ashford TALK
Talk Surrey
TALK provides long-term support and communication opportunities for people with aphasia. Ashford TALK meets weekly at The Salvation Army offices in Ashford.
The term’s programme is planned in advance with each week having a themed session led by a volunteer, with ideas from stroke members and volunteers.
Seating arrangements vary, however, each stroke member is supported by a volunteer and each week that volunteer changes.
There is plenty of talking and we also incorporate different aspects of communication: reading, writing, comprehension, concentration, listening, observation, creative expression.
The sessions may include involvement with numbers, money, dates, pictures, craft work, quizzes, worksheets, music and this list is not exhaustive.
