Welcome, Dr. Lee!

The temperatures are dropping and the leaves turning gold... Autumn is almost at our doorsteps! Before we welcome the new season, let's first give a warm welcome to Dr. Jaime Lee to the James Madison University CSD department! Her area of specialty is adult neurogenic communication disorders. Her clinical experience is specifically with individuals suffering from strokes and traumatic brain injuries.  Dr. Lee is proof that your first job after graduate school can pave the way for the rest of your career as it was during her Clinical Fellowship Year  that she began working with individuals with cognitive communication deficits. She found it immediately fascinating, challenging, and meaningful which lead her to continue on that same path! 
After her Clinical Fellowship Year at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), she continued on as a staff clinician on the Stroke and Brain Injury units and eventually transitioned into a research position with the Center for Aphasia Research. Dr. Lee completed her PhD at the University of Oregon, where she continued to pursue aphasia research and worked as a Clinical Supervisor in the University Speech-Language Clinic. Here at JMU, Dr. Lee is teaching the graduate level course, Communication Disorders following Traumatic Brain Injury, this semester, and will be instructing another graduate course, Language Disorders in Adults, in the spring, along with the undergraduate lecture, CSD 416 Organic Speech Disorders.  While teaching, Dr. Lee is starting her new research program evaluating treatment techniques for aphasia. Her goal is to add to the evidence-based practices (EBPs) available to clinicians working with individuals with aphasia. As a new professor at James Madison University, she is looking forward to inspiring students to become excellent clinicians in the field of Speech-Language Pathology. Welcome to JMU’s CSD department, Dr. Lee!
