Abstract
Volunteers are increasingly involved with aphasic people, providing social support and sometimes assisting more directly with language-related work. Their involvement raises a number of questions, particularly about the respective roles of speech and language therapists and volunteers, about possible implications for the speech and language therapy profession, and about communication between therapists, volunteers, clients and, in some instances, volunteer organizers.
