The University of Sydney Acquired Brain Injury Communication Lab is a team of researchers investigating communication disorders following acquired brain injury (ABI). We work with research participants with traumatic brain injury, aphasia following stroke, dementia and other acquired neurological communication disorders.
The team is led by Professor Leanne Togher, and includes experienced researchers, early career researchers, PhD candidates, and honours students.
