Jamila Minga, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, is an associate professor and speech-language pathologist specializing in adult neurogenic communication disorders, particularly those arising from stroke and the related rehabilitation outcomes. Her research focuses on examining how right hemisphere brain damage affects pragmatic communication performance, and she aims to develop sensitive measures to determine rehabilitation needs for this population. Minga's long-term goal is to enhance recognition of the functional impacts caused by stroke-related hemisphere lesions and to create effective diagnostic markers and treatment protocols that improve the quality of life for individuals with brain damage. She has extensive clinical experience in delivering neurogenic rehabilitation services across multiple settings, including acute and subacute care. Her interests extend to cultural language analysis, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and addressing health disparities within the field. Through her work, she seeks to foster improved integration of stroke survivors into their communities, emphasizing the need for supportive measures that accommodate diverse communication challenges.
