Assistant Professor
Chapman University, United States
Currently Dr. Sheppard is working to develop treatments using traditional language therapy paired with brain stimulation techniques to improve and maintain language functioning in stroke-based aphasia and Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). PPA is a syndrome resulting from neurodegenerative diseases that leads to the progressive loss of language function. She also researches behavioral and neurological changes resulting from right hemisphere strokes or neurodegenerative diseases with a focus on emotional prosody deficits. One goal of her research is to inform the development of novel evidence-based treatments designed to best enhance language outcomes in adults experiencing neurogenic language and communication disorders.
