Research! Who me?

ABSTRACT I am a speech and language therapist with no previous experience of research who was given the opportunity to work part‐time on a research project as part of a multidisciplinary team. I was lucky to be based in a centre well‐known for its research into developing computer systems for the disabled and with a special interest in communication. The job of the team was to develop and evaluate a predictive conversational system called Talksbac for aphasic adults. This paper explains this research and also the feelings I experienced as a speech and language therapist working in an acute hospital setting and in an academic research environment.
