You can help understand aphasia better by volunteering in our research

Aphasia affects a person's ability to speak, understand, read and write. It can affect a person's ability to return to work and their quality of life. Aphasia affects about 1 in 250 people, and is more common  than Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy (www.aphasia.org). Nearly 180,000 Americans acquire aphasia each year. Yet, much is yet to be understood about the condition and its effective intervention. The good news is that research is improving our understanding of aphasia, how language is processed by the human brain and how intervention can help persons with aphasia. 

We are recruiting participants for our studies. Depending on the study, we recruit:

-Persons with aphasia

-Persons who are are neurologically healthy (do not have aphasia or any other neurological condition) in the age ranges of 18-30 years and over 45 years 

- Spanish-English bilinguals who are neurologically healthy and from 50-70 years old
