This paper describes an on‐going three‐phase action research project undertaken by members of the Norwich Community Trust speech and language therapy adult services team. With the support of the Clinical Audit department the project was set up in order to: 1) investigate the characteristics, needs and aspirations of the population of dysphasic people in the community; 2) examine how dysphasic people and their families perceive the speech and language therapy service; 3) implement specific changes to the speech and language therapy service to dysphasic people and their families. These changes are based on proposals developed through a working partnership between the speech and language therapy department and dysphasic people and their families.
