Adaptive Trial Scheduling in Naming Treatment for Aphasia
Recruiting
Aphasia is a language disorder caused by stroke and other acquired brain injuries that affects over two million people in the United States and which interferes with life participation and quality of life. Anomia (i.e., word- finding difficulty) is a primary frustration for people with aphasia. Picture-based naming treatments for anomia are widely used in aphasia rehabilitation, but current treatment approaches do not address the long-term retention of naming abilities and do not focus on using...

Settling Down for Sleep in ADHD: The Impact of Sensory and Arousal Systems on Sleep in ADHD
Recruiting
The goal of this study is test the hypothesis that sleep problems for children with ADHD are linked to sensory over-responsivity, a type of sensory processing difference that causes a person to interpret daily sensory input as stressful. This study examines the impact of sensory over-responsivity on bedtime arousal levels in 30 children with ADHD (ages 6-13). We will also test a bedtime intervention targeting sensory over-responsivity at bedtime and examine how it impacts bedtime arousal levels... Read More
