Elizabeth B. Madden is an assistant professor in the School of Communication Science and Disorders and an affiliate of the Institute for Successful Longevity. She currently teaches SPA 4257 Acquired Communication Disorders and SPA 6231 Seminar in Aphasia. Her research is focused on rehabilitation of aphasia, an acquired language processing disorder. Specifically, her work is focused on understanding the relationship between spoken and written language abilities in individuals with aphasia and developing behavioral treatments to address reading and writing disorders post-stroke. Her work also addresses the impact of aphasia on the friendships and social well-being of people with aphasia and their care partners.
