Wow @Jeanne1Gallee - this is an amazing article. Your leading question - "Put simply, how much prosody can a speaker “do” with limited syntax?" - is of such theoretical, diagnostic & functional interest. An article I will read & share many times! Keep up this brilliant work! 💫
So pleased to share our review of prosodic production in agrammatic aphasia, led by Lauryn Zipse; this work establishes what we truly know based on the existing literature. We are excited to pursue the future work outlined here! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…@IHPResearch@MGHInstitute
This session was an #ADRF2024 highlight for me too! I loved Kerrie's reflections on what she learnt along the way, including how to be more compassionate. I hope consistent access to more connected, enabling and collaborative care becomes less of a fight in the future.
It’s been a great few days at #ADRF2024! My personal highlight so far - hearing firsthand experiences of dementia and navigating life after a diagnosis from Kerry, Scott and Dana. @DementiaAus
Just had the most lovely chat with CeCelia & @TomSatherSLP at their poster ‘We Need You to Look...Not Look Away’ sharing the creation of a biopic with Wayne about living with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) 🥰
