About Better Conversations
Better Conversations is a speech and language therapy programme that has improved the day to day conversations of many people living with communication difficulties.
The person living with communication difficulties and a family member or friend work together, coached by a speech and language therapist, to build and develop conversation skills. Research shows it supports both people involved to make changes that can improve wellbeing and quality of life.
