• have broadband Internet connection,
• achieve a Galveston Orientation Assessment Test (GOAT) score >75 to ensure appropriate levels of cognition for the study
• and score >93.8 on the Western Battery Aphasia-Revised (WAB-R) scale to indicate sufficient communicative abilities to participate in a social support group and exit interview group.
