This is good.
Would be even better if there was a group of 16 teachers in a DFE Teacher Reference Group in each part of the country.

Stroke is the leading cause of aphasia.

This #WorldStrokeDay we are raising awareness of #aphasia by talking about our research.

The @DaraProjectCity.bsky.social looks at everyday information - like maps, pie charts, and physical data to see how easy-to-use people with #aphasia or #DLD find it.
