This study developed and tested a novel intervention for word retrieval and word use in the virtual world, EVA Park. The intervention used the virtual island of EVA Park as a space to practice words in situated conversations. The 8-week programme, VESFA, was tested in a feasibility randomised control trial. Post therapy interviews explored the acceptability of the treatment to participants. The project was led by Dr Niamh Devane with supervision from Prof. Katerina Hilari, Prof. Jane Marshall and Prof. Stephanie Wilson.
