The second episode in the UCL Communication Clinic series focuses on the Creative Language in Aphasia (or CLIA) programme. Nathalie and Issy are first joined by student SLTs Cate and Lottie, plus UCL's Dr Jennie Grassly and Dr Michael (Mickey) Dean, who run the programme alongside the student SLTs. They discuss how the CLIA programme works and the reason for the creative underpinning. Later, Neville and Priscilla, two people with aphasia who attended the clinic, share their experiences and the incredible artwork and poem they created.
