Plenary 2 – Life after stroke: Communication in everyday life, 15.00 – 16.30 CET
This session will focus on overcoming communication barriers after stroke. Stroke survivors will share their experiences and show that even without aphasia, communication failures are common. It will explore potential solutions to address these issues.
