About the Lab

Adult communication disorders such as dementia, aphasia, and other neurogenic communication disorders are studied in the lab from empirical as well as descriptive research approaches. Along with the courses taught in the department, and in addition to the onsite Speech and Hearing Center, the neurogenics lab offers students, clients, and families many opportunities to consult with and learn about potential projects and latest research in the field of adult communication disorders.
