The Brain Injury Clinic (BIC), the source of participants for this
corpus, is housed in the York Wellness and Rehabilitation Institute at
Nazareth College in Rochester, NY. It is part of the Communication
Sciences and Disorders (CSD) Department, within the School of Health and
Human Services. The clinic has been operating since 1992, and has
served hundreds of clients from the Greater Rochester community who have
acquired brain injuries. Emphasizing a Life Participation Approach to
Aphasia (LPAA), we engage clients in meaningful activities to reach
their educational, vocational, and recreational potential. The BIC
serves as a rich training site for graduate speech-language pathology
students and as a research platform to study acquired
cognitive-communication disorders.
