Aphasia Assessment, Treatment and Recovery/Russia

Host Institution: National Research University Higher School of Economics
Coordinating Institution: National Research University Higher School of Economics
Website: https://www.hse.ru/en/neuroling/summer_school_2016

Dates: 02-Jul-2016 - 04-Jul-2016
Location: Moscow, Moscow, Russia

Focus: The school will be dedicated to the approaches of aphasia assessment and rehabilitation.
Minimum Education Level: BA

Description:
The purpose of the school is to continue an annual scientific and educational
program in the experimental studies of language and to create an academic
environment for discussion of scientific ideas, clinical applications and the
latest achievements in the field. This year the school will be devoted to
various assessment and treatment approaches to aphasia, including aspects of
clinical application and research. Lectures will be provided by such esteemed
world-renowned speakers as Audrey Holland (University of Arizona), Brooke
Hallowell (Ohio University), Nina Dronkers (University of California) and
Roelien Bastiaanse (University of Groningen).

What to expect?

The school program will include three days of invited talks and one poster
session.  The first day will focus on how approaches to aphasia management
have evolved over the course of the last 50 years, including general
strategies for the assessment of individuals with aphasia (Hallowell) and
methods in contemporary evidence-based practice (Ivanova). The second day of
the school will be split between two topics.  First, neuroimaging methods and
their role in assessment and treatment of neurogenic language disorders will
be discussed (Dronkers), followed by a detailed presentation of social
approaches to aphasia rehabilitation (Holland).  The third day will be
dedicated to specific linguistic assessment and treatment approaches
(Bastiaanse) and the process of adapting treatment protocols into a new
language (Akinina). Over the course of three days, attendees will learn about
basic concepts of evidence-based practice, assessment and treatment
methodology, gain in-depth knowledge about different types of contemporary
treatment approaches to aphasia and clinical application of specific
therapies, as well as recent advances in understanding the neural
underpinnings of language recovery.  The expertise of the invited Russian and
foreign experts guarantees the high quality of the training.

Who should be interested?

The program will be of interest to professionals and students in the fields of
Speech Pathology, Psychology, Medicine, Neuroscience, and Linguistics as well
as to all interested in the neural bases of language, neurogenic language
disorders, neurorehabilitation and speech-language therapy for people with
neurogenic language and cognitive disorders. 

Poster session:

In addition to the invited talks, a poster session will be held during the
school. The purpose of the poster session is to provide an informal platform
for scientists, clinicians and students to network and exchange ideas, share
information and expertise on current clinical and research developments in the
field of neurolinguistics, and take away new insights to implement in their
own work. We invite all participants to submit abstracts to participate in the
poster session. Submissions are invited on all topics related to the neural
aspects of language functioning and impairment, assessment and treatment.
Example topics include, but are not limited to: 

 - Aphasia
 - Neurogenic communication disorders
 - Speech pathology and therapy
 - Language development and neuroplasticity
 - Electrophysiology of language
 - Neuroimaging of language
 - Neurosurgery and language 

Abstracts must be written in English and limited to 500 words (excluding the
references and the title). Abstracts will be selected on the basis of the
clarity of research, the soundness of methodology and the contribution to the
field. Each abstract will be reviewed anonymously by the scientific committee,
so please do not include any identifying information in the body of the
abstract. There will be no printed proceedings. Abstracts can be submitted via
the registration form. Submissions sent by e-mail will not be reviewed.
