'Primary progressive aphasia (PPA)' is an umbrella term for a group of language-led dementias which leave people unable to communicate effectively with others. PPA can have a devastating impact on people's ability to function and socialise. Speech and language therapy offers a range of potential benefits to people with PPA. However, until now there has been little research asking them and their families about what help they would like from speech and language therapy.  In this podcast we chat with Chris Hardy, Anna Volkmer, Jason Warren about their research (*and that of colleagues) about their research to answer that question.The paper is: ‘Like going into a chocolate shop, blindfolded': What do people with primary progressive aphasia want from speech and language therapy?*Maria Loizidou, Emilie Brotherhood, Emma Harding, Sebastian Crutch, Jason D.
