Take a look at some of the resources we offer to researchers and healthcare professionals
Templates for researchers
These templates have been designed by Gill Pearl and members of Speakeasy as part of an NIHR initiatives. They are designed to take the hard work out of making resources aphasia friendly. They are co-designed by people with aphasia to meet accessibility guidelines (research evidenced) and to meet the standards required by ethics and research protocols. They comprise a suit of templates and they are easy to use. Just put your research information in once and all your forms will look the same. Select from some standardised sections for the basic information each research project needs e.g. data storage. Add in sections of your own to make the resources on topic for your own work. The hard work has been done for you, why duplicate! Get in touch if you need more help. (psst – it would be good if you costed some money into your research to donate towards this resource!)
Aphasia-friendly images
Over the years Gill (our CEO) has been involved in her own research for developing aphasia resources and making written information more accessible. It is important to use the right images to accompany text. But it is key that the images are the right ones according to people with aphasia, not just pretty colourful pictures! Speakeasy has nearly 300 of these images. All are designed and often modelled by our members and they cover a wide variety of health, social and activity themes; we regularly add to this library and we take commissions for new ones. You can use them and all we ask is for an acknowledgement that Speakeasy has designed these (we can supply the wording) and a donation if possible to help us to continue adding to these wonderful resources. They are used all over the world!. Here are the images though if you cant find what you want please contact us, we may have something in the pipeline.
