Ep. 4 - Treatment of Aphasia in Persons with Primary Progressive Aphasia

Shirley Morganstein first learned about aphasia while an undergraduate at NYU.  She completed her Master’s degree at the University of Minnesota, and, as she says, was privileged to have Hildred Schuell and her staff at the Minnesota VA Hospital as teachers.  After her return to NYC, she worked at Rusk Institute, with Martha Taylor Sarno, The Mount Sinai Hospital, and then the Kessler Institute of Rehabilitation in New Jersey.  In 2004, she and her long-time colleague, Marilyn Certner Smith, formed a Life Participation practice in Montclair, called Speaking of Aphasia.  Now semi-retired, she continues to see patients and is an adjunct professor at New York University.  She has published two aphasia workbooks with Marilyn Center Smith, and maintains a blog on Word Press called Relationship and Reflection in Aphasia Therapy.  In her free time, she enjoys writing and exploring the art of Ikebana.

Ep. 5 - An Interview with Shirley Morganstein: Reflections on Relational Practice

This is episode #1 from a group of Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors.  PT Pintcast Host Jimmy McKay met them in his Neuro Rehabilitation class during his 3rd year @ Marymount University.

This show will be produced and recorded by the members of the Stroke Comeback Center, located in Vienna Virginia.

They will discuss, in their own words, what it’s like to be on the “Slow Road To Better” after suffering a Stroke or TBI.

SLP Melissa Richman will be there along the way as your host, but the episodes are completely up to the members of the center.
