🧠 TANGO Study – Week 2

Our national e-Delphi with UK SLTs identified 47 key techniques for effective communication partner training after ABI.

Top picks: goal setting, practising skills, feedback, problem solving.

As our @nihr.bsky.social TANGO study wraps up, we’re excited to share key findings! 🎉
