Aphasia research shared in upcoming Mind’s Eye

Imagine you have suffered a serious stroke. You are unable to speak or follow a conversation. Since you cannot use language to connect with your family and friends, you become frustrated and depressed. Dr. Alana Kozlowski’s work helps to empower people with aphasia and give them and their caretakers a fun, shared experience.

Congratulations to Dr. Alana Kozlowski. Her research will be profiled in the 2016 issue of Mind’s Eye (released in September). Her work is currently being featured on Missouri State’s research page and on the Mind’s Eye blog.

“Often my goal as a speech-language pathologist was to help clients effectively and efficiently express their wants and needs. However, I began to question whether having a shared social experience with or without words may be equally important. Maybe a shared social experience was more important than words to a 75-year-old who had been married 50 years,” she mused.

We are so proud of all of our departmental faculty. Your research continues to be a point of pride for the university, and it truly touches the community.
