Free Online Aphasia Therapy at Boston University

The Aphasia Research Lab at Boston University is conducting a study that provides free speech/language therapy for word finding deficits to bilingual English-Spanish and English-Mandarin speakers (any level of proficiency in these languages) who have had a stroke and present persistent language difficulties. Study participation involves 20 treatment sessions twice per week and language and cognitive testing prior and after treatment. Both assessments and treatment are provided at no cost and can be conducted remotely via videoconferencing. Feel free to reach out to us with questions via email at aphasiaresearchlaboratory@gmail.com or via phone at 617-353-2706 or spread the word to others who might be interested!

To design a better aphasia treatment •Why do some PWA experience difficulty in producing sentences, particularly, verbs in sentences? •What types of treatments are most efficacious in rehabilitating individuals with difficulties in sentence production? •What neural mechanisms are involved in the processing and production of verbs and sentences?
