Communication disorders after stroke in aboriginal Australians

The Health Communication Research Unit will host a Journal Club presentation delivered by Professor Elizabeth Armstrong.

Armstrong is Foundation Chair in Speech Pathology at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Australia. She has published widely in the area of aphasia and presents regularly at both national and international speech pathology, linguistics, allied health and medical conferences.

Prior to becoming an academic, she worked clinically in both acute hospital and rehabilitation settings, and since that time has established the Master of Speech Language Pathology at Macquarie University and the Bachelor of Speech Pathology program at Edith Cowan University.

Her research includes the application of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory to the everyday discourse of people with aphasia, early intervention strategies, and issues related to communication disorders in Australian Aboriginal populations.
