Over the past four decades, research by Audrey Holland from the University of Arizona has helped many individuals learn to communicate after a brain injury or disease. She will share her expertise with the faculty of Case Western Reserve University as this year's Flora Stone Mather Visiting Professor.
Noted for her ability to integrate the theories of communication with its practical applications in everyday life, Holland has trained a cadre of speech therapists who have helped many individuals who lost their ability to understand and use words after a brain trauma.
Her work has earned some of the highest honors from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the Award for Clinical Achievement from the American Academy of Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences.
Holland is currently a faculty member in UA's Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences. She also has held faculty positions at Emerson College and the University of Pittsburgh.
The Flora Stone Mather Visiting Professorship was established by the 1973 with a gift from the Flora Stone Mather Alumnae Association to honor Flora Stone Mather. The professorship brings distinguished scholars to the campus to teach.
