Aphasia-Friendly Research Reports

We are so grateful to all of the people with aphasia who participate in our research.

We couldn't do this work without you!

We want you to know about what we have done in research.

Each project has a few different types of summaries

• Some have less language and more pictures
• Some have mostly words but with simple language
• Some have a video explanation

Choose the version that works best for you.

We hope these summaries help!

If you would like to see the full published article for any of these, please let us know! You can email Dr. Silkes (jsilkes@sdsu.edu).
