Aphasia and Related Conditions Research Lab

UCF Communication Sciences and Disorders

Overview

Members of the Aphasia and Related Conditions (ARC) Research Lab at the University of Central Florida conduct research to 1) better understand the complex processing of speech and language and its breakdown in individuals with aphasia and apraxia of speech, 2) develop new and explore effective treatment approaches, and 3) explore variables that impact treatment success.

In particular, we study:

  1. Rehabilitation of aphasia and/or apraxia of speech
  2. Benefit of the principles of motor learning on speech learning and rehabilitation
  3. Differential diagnosis of aphasia and apraxia of speech
  4. Variables that impact treatment success for these clinical populations

Selected Relevant Publications

Our laboratory makes a concerted effort to publish our findings in respected academic journals and present at regional, national, and international conferences. In addition to contributing to collective body of knowledge in a given field, presenting original data at conferences is a fun way for the lab’s students to enhance their self-confidence and network with other scientists.
