BU Infant Communication Lab

How BU Research Is Helping Infants with Down Syndrome Take Steps Toward Independence

In the Boston University Infant Communication Lab, researcher Jana Iverson is exploring ways to help infants with the condition keep up with their peers—with a little help from Benny. A BU Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences professor of physical therapy, Iverson is examining whether giving infants extra mobility support can help mitigate the effects of early developmental delays. Benny is a participant in one of her studies.

Neuroscientist Swathi Kiran shows some tools used in therapies for people with aphasia.

Combating Neurological Language Loss

BU centers blend cutting-edge science, therapy, and community in the fight against aphasia
Imagine waking after a stroke and finding yourself struggling to read a sentence. That’s the reality for nearly two million Americans living with aphasia—a neurological disorder that impairs speaking, reading, and writing, but not intelligence. Most often caused by strokes or brain hemorrhages, aphasia has no known cure.
