RESEARCH INTEREST/CLINICAL EXPERTISE

Research Interest

• Areas of research interest include neurolinguistic investigations of the acquired neurogenic communication disorders, particularly the aphasias and apraxia of speech but also the cognitive-communication disorders associated with RHI, TBI, and dementia. Research has focused on the nature of phonological dissolution in aphasia and the nature of phonological impairment in developmental verbal apraxia and/or childhood apraxia of speech.

Clinical Expertise

• Areas of expertise include clinical aphasiology and developmental phonology.
