Aphasia research that people with aphasia care about.

We spend countless hours on research that improves the lives of people with aphasia.
We travel around the world to share our research and our passion for aphasia. ​
Our research is always driven by the following question: 
What do people with aphasia tell us that they want?

Our research lab is directed by Dr. Jamie Azios.

Dr. Jamie works closely with a team of people with aphasia called the Research Advisory Board.

This is a small group of people with aphasia who keep us focused on what we should be researching.

We also have monthly lab meetings with undergraduate students, graduate clinicians, and PhD students to focus on research projects that help to improve the lives of people with aphasia.

Interested in signing up as a research participant, volunteering as a student, or getting your PhD?
