How we are plugging the gap
Those of us who are familiar with digital technology will at some stage have had to use an app, or download a new programme for our computer, and while this may come easy to us it may not be so much for others.

The Aphasia Team have been working hard on developing aphasia-friendly 'how to' guides for video calling apps like Zoom, Skype and WhatsApp.
You can find instructions on how to use and download these apps on an iPhone, iPad, Android smartphone, Tablet and Desktop PC.
