Funded Activity Summary

Loss of speech due to acquired brain injury causes long-term disability, increased risk for depression, and substantial caregiver burden. Speech disorders can affect linguistic processes or control of speech movements. The current gold standard for diagnosis of speech movement disorders is expert judgment of speech characteristics. We propose to test a novel diagnostic tool that has potential to drive a reframing of rehabilitation strategies to improve outcomes and quality of life.
