Connect is a national charity. Their vision is a world where communication disability is not a barrier to opportunity and fulfilment. They work to promote effective services, new opportunities and a better quality of life for people living with aphasia.
Connect aims are to:
- Equip people living with aphasia to reconnect with life again.
- Improve services and increase opportunities available for people living with aphasia by changing attitudes and practices in service provision.
- Increase the ways in which people living with aphasia can be authentically involved in the services and opportunities available to them.
Through a range of innovation projects, Connect pilots and implements effective long-term support services and develop practical publications and resources for people living with aphasia. They also run one-day events for people with aphasia and their relatives.
They provide training and consultancy to share their knowledge, experience and expertise. In particular they work with decision-makers and front-line providers in health and social care, leisure, education, arts, public services and the voluntary sector.
Connect also develops publications and resources to enable providers to transform their services. They undertake practical research to underpin their work.
Whenever possible they seize opportunities with policy makers, influencers and decision makers to give people with aphasia a stronger voice.
The authors and editors of this article are employed to create accurate and up to date content reflecting reliable research evidence, guidance and best clinical practice. They are free from any commercial conflicts of interest. Find out more about updating.
