Aphasia Resource Center

The Aphasia Resource Center is one of the nation’s preeminent aphasia clinical research and rehabilitation centers. The goals of its research are to systematically implement assessment and rehabilitation practices to enhance the communication skills of individuals with aphasia, develop a systematic, evidence-based protocol in diagnosing and rehabilitating patients with aphasia, facilitate effective translation of research evidence into clinical practice, implement periodic and comprehensive behavioral assessments to monitor changes in communication skills among patients who attend therapy at the center, provide the infrastructure to foster interdisciplinary clinical research collaborations with other Boston-area universities that use the center as a recruitment site, provide an incubator for generating research ideas by junior faculty, support postdoctoral scholars, graduate students and visiting scientists who develop and pursue research projects that are part of the center’s mission, and disseminate and translate findings to scientists, clinicians and consumers.
