Our project titled “A causal framework of communicative participation in people with Parkinson’s disease” has been funded by an NIH R01 Award. This project investigates conversation challenges for people with Parkinson’s disease and identifies hypothesis-driven treatment targets to effectively improve conversation. The Co-Is supporting this project are: Tyson Barrett, Visar Berisha, and Julie Liss.

We have received an Impact Award from the Parkinson’s Foundation for our project examining the combined effects of speaker and listener treatment approaches on intelligibility outcomes for people with Parkinson’s disease. This work is in collaboration with Kaity Lansford (PI) and Tyson Barrett (Co-I).
