Presented by Assoc. Professor Dana Wong, La Trobe University

“Valued living”, or doing what matters to you, is associated with better outcomes post-stroke. However, measures, processes and interventions for valued living are often unsuitable for people with cognitive and communication difficulties. Dana will present a range of adaptations and methods to optimise accessibility in valued living research and practice.
