On 23rd March, a group of students and staff from the Department of Communication Disorders at Auburn University, Alabama, visited Chandler House.  They attended a number of talks, including one about the work of the UCL Communication Clinic. They heard from one of the service users about the clinic’s role in his rehabilitation and the various projects that the group he attends has completed. The visitors were particularly interested as they have their own clinical service embedded in the university department:

The film was screened in Chandler House by the Communication Clinic, with assistance from members of the university’s Giving Voice Society, and was attended by service users, family members, staff and students.
