Welcome to the UKSF 2021 Meeting Program Scheduling

This training workshop will be constructed and delivered by speech and language therapists with a background primarily of working with stroke survivors with aphasia. As such, a large focus regarding barriers will be related to language/ communication accessibility. However, the speakers proposed have a broader experience e.g., Roper in general user experience research in technology/ digital and will bring these broader perspectives into the workshop. The intended audience of this workshop is the full multidisciplinary team and may additionally attract social care professionals and voluntary sector professionals too. The speakers will present, discuss and demonstrate the:challenges and issues that arise in using technology what factors contribute to optimal use of technology (computer, IT, technology, apps, virtual reality) for all stroke survivors, and how to incorporate these in rehabilitation and recovery. Speakers will showcase different technologies and encourage audience engagement and interaction (as much as can be achieved virtually!)
