More than two million Americans are living with aphasia, a language disorder that commonly occurs after a stroke. Although aphasia is a chronic condition, those afflicted can continuously make gains in their ability to communicate. Research underway at Penn State’s Semantics, Aphasia, and Neural Dynamics (SAND) Lab is pursuing ways to optimize rehabilitation using neuroimaging to understand what brain changes are associated with successful therapy. Join Chaleece Sandberg, assistant professor of communication sciences and disorders in the College of Health and Human Development, to learn more about this promising research.
