The Newcastle Speech-After-Stroke Project is one of many schemes in Britain that have used untrained helpers to set up community clubs and home visiting for dysphasic stroke sufferers. To examine the contribution to rehabilitation made by such activities, patients' language abilities and social confidence were assessed when they entered the project and after about six months. Formal tests of language showed no significant improvement after six months, but social confidence increased. Such projects can make a valuable contribution in helping dysphasic people to regain a role in the community. Nevertheless, too much should not be expected of them in the way of direct help in the patients' recovery of language.
纽卡斯尔中风后言语项目是英国众多利用未经培训的助手为中风后言语困难患者设立社区俱乐部和上门探访服务的计划之一。为了研究此类活动对康复的贡献，在患者进入项目时以及大约六个月后，对他们的语言能力和社交信心进行了评估。语言的正式测试显示，六个月后没有显著改善，但社交信心有所增强。这类项目在帮助言语困难者在社区中重新找到自己的角色方面可以做出宝贵贡献。然而，在直接帮助患者恢复语言方面，不应期望过高。
