Gray Matter Lab
Welcome to the Gray Matter Lab
Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals with aphasia and their support networks, while also fostering the growth of future professionals through research mentorship and clinical training.
Mission & Vision Statements
- Our mission is to serve historically marginalized and underrepresented communities (e.g., BIPOC, LBGTQ+, linguistically diverse) and lead the way in developing evidence-based therapy methods for bilingual and multilingual populations with aphasia.
- Our vision is that BIPOC and linguistically diverse populations with aphasia will receive the highest quality of therapy in order to increase communicative effectiveness and quality of life experiences.
Anti-Racist Statement
The Gray Matter Lab pledges our continued commitment to serve Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and bilingual and multilingual populations that have been historically marginalized and underserved. We are committed to offering BIPOC and linguistically minoritized community members a safe space that is inclusive, respectful, and improves the quality of their lives.
The Gray Matter Lab stands in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. Inequalities and prejudices toward Black lives have long been systematically enshrined in the societal and legislative backbones of our nation. We denounce these inequalities and the systematic racism that Black people have long endured. The murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and many other black lives that have fallen victim to racism and oppression.
We strive to equally support and promote multiculturalism, inclusivity, opportunity, respect, and dignity for all of our members, patients, families, and others who might interact with our lab. Likewise, we recognize and aim to celebrate diversity and honor equality.
Research
The long-term goal of our research is to improve the quality of life of monolingual and bilingual people with aphasia.
Most of the treatment research in aphasia is based on English speaking adults from western countries. However, many people in the world speak languages other than English, and more than half the world is bilingual. Within the United States, this population is rapidly increasing, and people with aphasia who are seeking language rehabilitation services have the right to receive language treatment in their preferred language. To best serve culturally and linguistically diverse persons with aphasia, it is critical that speech and language pathologists have access to evidence-based treatment materials that are culturally and linguistically appropriate.
AbSANT (abstract semantic associative networking training) is a naming intervention developed for English speaking persons with aphasia. In this project, we are examining the efficacy of AbSANT with Spanish speaking persons with aphasia.
We are currently recruiting Spanish speaking adults (monolingual or bilingual) with any type of aphasia. If interested in learning more, please contact Dr. Teresa Gray at graymatterlaboratory@gmail.com.
Project collaborator: Dr. Chaleece Sandberg, Penn State University
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of training abstract word retrieval in bilingual people with aphasia. Previous work has found that training abstract words results in improvement to abstract words and concrete words in monolingual patients with aphasia. Outcomes regarding bilingual populations are unclear. The goal of this project is to help to guide clinical decisions for monolingual and bilingual persons with aphasia.
We are currently recruiting bilingual (any language combination) adults with aphasia. Individuals can be balanced or unbalanced bilinguals with any type of aphasia. If interested in learning more, please contact Dr. Teresa Gray at graymatterlaboratory@gmail.com
Project collaborator: Dr. Chaleece Sandberg, Penn State University
Although Black people have a higher prevalence of stroke than any other racial group, they are less likely to receive speech and language services. In addition, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) are historically excluded from speech, language, and hearing sciences research. Based on our preliminary data, Black adults with aphasia have reported that participating in a Black conversation group is beneficial to their well-being because it creates a safe space where they feel more comfortable to freely express themselves, e.g., use African American English without being judged and talk about the Black experience in America. Further, the majority of aphasia treatment research is based on White people, but racial minorities comprise 40% of the population. Thus, for speech and language pathologists to best serve their diverse patient population, it is critical that we better understand treatment methods that address diversity.
In this study we host a Black conversation group (led by Black student clinicians) so that Black people with aphasia are in the majority, compared to the typical aphasia group where Black PWA are in the minority. We are evaluating the efficacy of this group to ascertain why and how this group is beneficial for improved communication for Black PWA.
We are currently recruiting Black adults with aphasia. If interested in learning more, please contact Dr. Teresa Gray at graymatterlaboratory@gmail.com.

The Gray Matter Lab is a place of learning and progress, where we seek to promote equity in all that we do. In this way, the lab has dedicated itself to providing all patients and students with the means they need to be successful in our lab. While we continue to seek more ways to support students and patients to create a diverse and inclusive lab space, our on-going action items that promote equity in our work include the following:
- Loan laptops and other electronics to patients who do not have access to materials necessary for remote therapy services;
- Intentionally recruit students who are bilingual, first generation, BIPOC, or who otherwise might face barriers to joining a research lab in order to ensure our lab reflects the population we serve at large (Chaudhary, 2020);
- Lead informed antiracism discussions within our lab to provide a safe space for these issues to be discussed and to provide training on culturally responsive care for future clinicians (Chaudhary, 2020);
- Address any racism or microaggressions that occur in our lab;
- Write and submit grants that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion;
- Updating patient onboarding documents to be more accessible and inclusive;
- Updating diagnostic materials so that they are more inclusive of diverse populations. Regarding standardized assessments, we will adhere to publication guidelines (e.g., Boston Naming Test);
- Reading scientific articles by Black researchers.
While this list is not comprehensive in any way, the Gray Matter lab acknowledges that being anti-racist takes deliberate effort to root out any vestiges of systemic racism within institutions in order to stand and fight against them and so we will continue to provide an equitable space for all.
