About CATs

Aphasia impacts on ability to speak, understand speech, read, write and perform simple calculations. Funded by the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia, the Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists (CATs) is an international network of multidisciplinary aphasia investigators in rehabilitation, social science, psychology and linguistics research from across more than 50 countries.

We aim to:

  • enhance aphasia research knowledge, skills, methodologies and infrastructure
  • increase the availability and validity of multilingual assessments and outcome measures relating to aphasia
  • support international research activities
  • support junior and early stage researchers
  • offer expert advice
  • provide resources to enhance the quality and reporting of aphasia research
