University of South Carolina Aphasia Lab

South Carolina’s midlands area has one of the highest rates of stroke in the USA. At the University of South Carolina, a team of investigators is working towards understanding the effects of stroke on everyday life and developing new treatments for stroke survivors. Much of this research is focused on communication, something that very often is affected by stroke.

Aphasia Lab studies are aimed at improving communication function following stroke. Anyone who has had a stroke and now has difficulty communicating qualifies for this research.

In addition to research studies, we offer aphasia recovery groups, drama group, reading groups, Lunch Bunch and other community outreach programs.
