Overview
The Purdue Aphasia Research Lab is inviting people with aphasia after a stroke to take part in a language training study. In this NIH-funded project, our goal is to develop a novel treatment for persons with aphasia to help them communicate more effectively. Eligible participants will practice reading and speaking sentences. Study duration will last approximately 2-3 months.
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder, frequently caused by a stroke, that can affect speaking, understanding others, reading and/or writing.
