Center for Aphasia ResearchThe RIC Center for Aphasia Research is constantly investigating ways to improve speech and communication disorders. Aphasia is a disorder that causes an impairment in speech and language abilities. Aphasia disorders result from damage to portions of the brain responsible for language. Aphasia commonly occurs due to brain damage from a head injury or stroke. In addition to providing aphasia rehabilitation for inpatients, outpatients, and day rehabilitation patients, RIC provides a month long Aphasia intensive therapy program to increase the possibility of improved communication. RIC’s Center for Aphasia Research and Treatment also investigates novel ways to treat aphasia and conducts clinical research studies to establish the effectiveness of these aphasia treatments.
