¡Bienvenid@s!
The Multilingual Aphasia and Dementia Research Lab (MADRlab) is housed in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, in the Moody College of Communication at The University of Texas at Austin. Research in the lab focuses on developing treatment approaches for bilingual adults with aphasia and neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, we are interested in better characterizing the manifestation of aphasia and neurodegenerative disorders in individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Research in the lab also addresses bilingualism as a contributor to cognitive and neural reserve and utilizes neuroimaging to investigate variability in treatment responsiveness.
