Treatments for speech and language in bilingual speakers with aphasia caused by stroke or neurodegenerative disease

The goal of this study is to develop treatment approaches for bilingual speakers (of any language pair) with PPA or aphasia caused by stroke. More specifically, we are investigating treatment outcomes of dual-language intervention, as well as methods for promoting cross-linguistic transfer.
