RCSLT - Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists - A podcast by The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists
In this podcast we interview Jessica Cannons and Katherine Buckeridge. When Jess was ten she suffered a serious stroke due to a cardiotoxic chemotherapy drug she was taking for her first cancer. She talks about what life was like after the stroke and her journey through rehabilitation. Katherine is a specialist speech and language therapist who worked with Jess following the stroke. Katherine published an article on her research about childhood acquired brain injuries in the International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders.
