Aphasia Rehabilitation & Recovery from Novel Therapy

Dr. Thomas Broussard, Jr., Stroke Survivor and Neuroeducator

Dr. Broussard is a neuroeducator, author and public speaker.  He formerly was
the Associate Dean of Admissions & Career Services at The Heller School for
Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University from 2007 until his stroke
in 2011.  He could not read, write or speak well due to his stroke.  It took
years to get better and he wrote Stroke Diary, A Primer for Aphasia Therapy. 
He has written a second volume, Stroke Diary, The Secret of Aphasia Therapy,
published last September.  He will discuss the process of how he lost his
language, how he got it back and what plasticity means to all of this.

The lecture will be held in Room #140, Discovery I, 915 Greene Street,
Columbia, SC 29208.

This event will be catered!

C-Star Lecture Series:

The Center for the Study of Aphasia Recovery (C-STAR;
http://cstar.sc.edu/lecture-series/) houses researchers who examine the
effects of behavioral treatment, brain stimulation, and residual brain
function (brain plasticity) on recovery from aphasia. C-STAR is a
collaboration between researchers from the University of South Carolina, the
Medical University of South Carolina, Johns Hopkins University, and the
University of California, Irvine. The Center is funded through the National
Institute of Deafness and Communication Disorders (NIDCD) grant #NIH P50
DC014664. Biweekly public lectures, given by members and guests of C-STAR, are
accessible live and online. Recordings of the lectures can be viewed via
