What You’ll Discover

This presentation will showcase the creative, inclusive methods developed as part of the ADAPT study, which explored how stroke survivors can be better supported to stand and move throughout their day. Moving beyond traditional research approaches, the team used playful, accessible techniques to engage participants with diverse experiences and communication needs.
