Supporting home communication of children with stroke parents
This project provides resources to support home communication of children with stroke parents and with aphasia. Two resources were generated from this project: a story book based on family communication barrier between children and their stroke parents; and an augmentative/alternative communication book to help non-verbal stroke parents to communicate with their children. The project aims to fill the current gap in speech therapy rendered to communication-impaired, middle-age stroke patients to maintain their family role as parents of older children and adolescence.
