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.

“The goal of interacting with our family and friends is to maintain and even deepen our relationships, to facilitate our social identity and solidarity and to provide feelings of well-being and happiness. Speech pathologists have a critical role in facilitating this process.”

– Professor Leanne Togher, Director

We are a team of world leaders in treatments for people with cognitive-communication disorders after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Members of the ABI Communication Lab have led 70% of the world’s clinical trials for people with cognitive-communication disorders after TBI. 

We have many different projects happening – please get in touch with us to be involved!
