Amélie Sanfaçon-Verret winner of the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia Award

Congratulations to Amélie Sanfaçon-Verret, who recently won a £500 scholarship from the Tavistock Trust for Aphasia! She has distinguished herself through the excellence of her aphasia research, which is already having a concrete clinical impact. Amélie’s work, which began while she was studying for her professional master’s degree in speech-language pathology, led to the creation and validation of a new clinical assessment tool for people with acquired communication disorders. Today, she is pursuing her research in the field of aphasia as part of her doctorate in rehabilitation sciences at Université Laval and Cirris, under the supervision of Laura Monetta (Université Laval/Cirris) and Vanessa Taler (University of Ottawa).

The Tavistock Trust for Aphasia Award recognizes members of the student community from all universities in the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Ireland with a speech-language pathology program.
