The City Gesture Checklist (CGC) a ‘quick and dirty’ printable resource for gesture analysis in aphasia. As featured in yesterday's #BASconf25 with @annacaute.bsky.social doi.org/10.25383/cit...

The City Gesture Checklist has been adapted and translated into Kannada by Chirag Girish Kiran in collaboration with his supervisors; this was a complex process with lots of considerations e.g., cultural differences, differences in dialect, vocabulary choice #BASconf25
