We bring people with Aphasia together

Transforming lives by connecting people with Aphasia and creating opportunities to engage with life

I am Sally McVicker. Welcome to the Aphasia Re-Connect website.

I am the founder and co-ordinator of Aphasia Re-Connect. I have worked in the charitable sector since the year 2000. I qualified as a speech and language therapist over thirty years ago and I have always specialised in aphasia. I founded the charity in 2017 due to the large number of people with aphasia who expressed the need for communication support in the longer term. I have developed many contacts within the research, clinical and aphasia communities across the UK and beyond. Meet my wider team here.
