Our Team
I am a speech-language pathologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Cincinnati. My work is focused on a) characterizing recovery in post-stroke aphasia from both behavioral and neural standpoints and b) investigating individual- and treatment-level factors that influence aphasia treatment response. These research interests are aimed toward improving design of interventions to maximize communication outcomes for individuals with aphasia.

Devon Peterson
I am a 1st year graduate student in the SLP Master's Program. I joined the ARL because I want to work with adults in the medical setting, especially adults who have had strokes and have aphasia or other cognitive impairments. I think it's so important that everyone has the ability to communicate for themselves and I am so honored to be a part of helping individuals gain that! A fun fact about me is that I love to collect snow globes!

Abby Leininger
I am a senior at the University of Cincinnati studying Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences. I am interested in working with individuals with aphasia or any neurological condition that may impact communication. Communication is beyond important to our quality of life, so the research behind how we can better assist those with communication is extremely rewarding and impactful. Besides being a part of the ARL, I love to travel and have been to 22 National Parks!
Jane Gaydosh
I am a senior at the University of Cincinnati studying Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences. I am interested in speech therapy because I love the aspect of working with patients and making a positive impact in their lives. I'm specifically interested in aphasia because a family member experienced a TBI that resulted in severe aphasia. Seeing the growth and impact his SLP aided him in during recovery was amazing and really drew me into this area of speech!
