Book your place for Speakability's 2010 Mary Law Lecture
Speakability's Mary Law Lecture is given as a tribute to the memory of the mother of Diana Law, who founded the Charity in 1979. Action for Dysphasic Adults (now known as Speakability) was then formerly registered with the Charity Commission in 1980. Diana Law was herself a Stroke survivor who had Aphasia and who fought tirelessly to ensure that people with this communication disability were not overlooked by the rest of society and by those providing health services.
As the Charity marks its 30th Anniversary, we invite you to come and hear the award-winning Aphasia expert, Professor Chris Code, who will be reviewing research involving Speakability Aphasia Self-Help Group members. He will also lead discussion on the challenge of delivering quality and quantity in Aphasia services.
| Professor Code has made an exceptional contribution in raising the profile, awareness and understanding of Aphasia. Early on in his career, Chris was a Regional Development Advisor with Speakability. He is now a Professorial Research Fellow in the School of Psychology at the University of Exeter, Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Sydney (Hon), and visiting professor at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and Fellow of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. |
