People with Aphasia, Join Our Study!


STUDY FLIER



The Aphasia Lab's primary focus is developing tools to assess people with
aphasia more accurately and efficiently. Our vision is to enhance the quality of
life of people with aphasia through scientific discovery and community
engagement.



Our mission is to advance the scientific understanding of aphasia and serve as a
hub to meet the needs of the local aphasia community through:



 * Programmatic Research - increase knowledge of and ability to assess the
   mechanisms underlying aphasia



 * Educational Opportunities - prepare the next generation of clinicians and
   provide professional development for current healthcare providers



 * Community-based Services - facilitate functional communication groups using a
   life participation approach

 

We are proud to be part of Portland State University's Speech & Hearing Sciences
Department. Click here for more information on graduate-level treatments and
assessments offered at the department's Oregon Scottish Rite Speech & Language
Clinic.




UNDERSTANDING APHASIA

Aphasia is an acquired language impairment that affects a person’s ability to
speak, understand spoken information, read and/or write. Importantly, it creates
a problem accessing or processing information in the brain but does not affect
intelligence. These communication difficulties can have a big impact on the
person's daily activities, social relationships, healthcare access, and
psychosocial well-being. Even mild symptoms can be very challenging and
frustrating.

 

Aphasia is an invisible disability that is caused by brain injury, most commonly
from a stroke. The level of severity can range dramatically across individuals
and across the four language domains (shown to the right). Approximately 2.5-4
million people in the US are living with aphasia.

living with aphasia share their real stories.
