Adults living in Victoria with a history of stroke are sought for a study run by Monash University.

 

Participants will receive 12 months of therapy (in either the first or second year of the study) to work on goals that are important to you. We will provide therapists appropriate to your goals (for example, neuropsychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapist and others) at no cost to you.  You will be asked to complete research measures throughout the study.

 

We are interested in people who have experienced changes to behaviour after stroke. These changes can be mild to severe.

More details are in the flier below.

 

I can be contacted to discuss a referral or answer any questions:
