Really proud of PhD student Mary McMahon for leading. Findings were critical to developing ANCHOR (Aphasia: Nurturing Connections, Honoring Ongoing Relationships), a program designed to help people with #aphasia maintain pre-stroke friendships, improving social inclusion and #mentalhealth.
Understanding how people with aphasia use information and communication technology (e.g., smartphones, social media platforms) to stay connected is critical to developing components of clinical interventions focused on social relationships.

UPDATE: Submitted to another, higher impact journal where reviewers applauded methods and gave a decision of Accept pending minor revisions. Thanks for all of the help and encouragement!
