Nearly 600 people interacted with NETA members and got first-hand information about aphasia and stroke.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/Picture2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-138\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/Picture2-300x225.png\" alt=\"Picture2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/Picture2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/Picture2-399x300.png 399w, https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/Picture2.png 567w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>People with aphasia were involved at every level, and Fine Art students helped make it happen. Quantitative and qualitative data show the success of the project in raising awareness of aphasia and stroke.\u00a0 The public\u2019s comments reflected their appreciation, as in the examples below. The combination of attractive artwork, an experienced person to talk to and literature to take away, helped reinforce the messages. NETA members grew in confidence as the project progressed and they could see the positive impact it was making. Fine Art students had the opportunity to be involved in an inter-disciplinary project and take it out into the community.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about aphasia and NETA <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neta.org.uk\">www.neta.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-139 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/1.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"697\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/1.jpg 697w, https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/1-300x49.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/files\/2015\/12\/1-500x81.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"spoon-plugin-kncgbdglledmjmpnikebkagnchfdehbm-2\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Faculty of Medical Science and Newcastle Institute for Creative Arts Practice Engagement Project, based within Speech and Language Sciences ECLS, Newcastle University The NETA Travelling Art Show took an exhibition to nine venues across the North East region from &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/2015\/12\/21\/strokes-of-the-brush-north-east-trust-for-aphasia-neta-travelling-art-show\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1135,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aphasia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1135"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":140,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136\/revisions\/140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ncl.ac.uk\/slsncl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
