President's Message

Dear ANCDS Members, 

I hope this newsletter finds you feeling well, productive, and fulfilled in your mission to support and improve the lives of those with neurologic communication disorders.  I have to say that, though I have been a member of ANCDS almost since its inception, I have not fully understood the myriad of ways our members contribute to our mission until serving in this position as President.  These efforts intentionally address a range of issues, from the education of professionals, future professionals, and scholars, to establishing best practices in service delivery and disseminating research innovations, all being done by highly talented and committed volunteers in the context of ANCDS committees.  The annual goals of each committee are very ambitious, and their work is impressively self-driven.  It is truly a privilege to work with the members of the Executive Board, the Committee Chairs, the Board Chairs, and the many committee members who — once again — volunteer their precious time and persistent effort to support the mission of ANCDS.

While there may be many reasons one chooses to volunteer, from making connections with others who share the same passion and intellectual curiosity to giving back to the profession and “paying it forward,” it goes without saying that many of us are in work environments in which this kind of service is unrewarded or under-recognized.  However, this does not seem to deter the small army of volunteers that makes up the ANCDS team, nor does it keep them from giving their utmost to their charges, and we are all the beneficiaries of their service.  Let me share a few updates from these busy ANCDS committees.

Members of the Executive Board (EB) held the first-ever virtual “ANCDS Membership Information Session” in February.  Thank you to those of you who were able to attend. We discussed details about our two certification programs: the Board of Clinical Certification, which oversees the credentialling of individuals with specialization in neurologic communication disorders, and the Board of Residency Education, which oversees the accreditation of advanced clinical education programs in neurologic communication disorders.  The EB is planning another information session for later this summer.  If there is an area of the organization that you are interested in hearing more about, please let me know so we can include it in the meeting.  Our goal is to make ANCDS activities more accessible to the membership.

The Education and Standards Committee, under the direction of Louise Keegan, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BC-ANCDS, has a busy agenda for this year’s activities.  In addition to the three webinars and two podcasts planned for this year, the ANCDS 2023 Scientific Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 15, in Boston.  The theme of the meeting is: Supporting Mental Health in Neurogenic Communication Disorders.  More details about the speakers and the agenda will be forthcoming but mark your calendars now so you can attend.

The Communications Committee, under the leadership of Adele Raade, Ph.D., BC-ANCDS, CCC-SLP, continues to expand ANCDS’ social media presence and facilitate awareness of ANCDS activities and the accomplishments of ANCDS members through this newsletter.  Toward that end, the Communications Committee is seeking a volunteer to join the committee to lead the ANCDS social media team.  The ideal candidate would be an active social media user, and interested in working closely with a small team to coordinate posts that meet organizational guidelines for quality control.  Please note that content generation for social media posts is distributed across the organization.  The primary role of the social media point person will be to assemble content and maintain our brand across multiple social media platforms.  If you are interested or know of someone who might be a good fit for this position, please contact me, Adele Raade, or Tori Scharp, the EB liaison to the committee.  Our contact information can be found in the ANCDS Member Directory.

The Membership Committee, under the direction of Miriam Carroll-Alfano, Ph.D.CCC-SLP, would love for you to update your profile in the member directory!  Now is the perfect time to update your listing and profile photo.  The more detail you provide, the easier it will be to find you with various search terms.  Speaking of searching, thanks to our patient staff at ADS, I have finally learned how to search the member directory efficiently, which I feel compelled to share with you.  The most reliable way to find a member in the directory from any page on the website is to hover over the “Resources” bar at the top of the page, select "member directory", type in the person’s name, then hit search at the bottom of the page.  If you want to return to the full directory, you can do so by selecting that same search tab without entering any other information.  Please don’t ask me what I was doing to search for a member’s contact information before I learned this!  I am just sharing this in case there are any other technologically challenged members out there.  After you update your profile, get ready to respond to the membership survey the Membership Committee has prepared.  Our aim is not to take up too much of your time but to make sure we have good information about your characteristics, work setting, and interests so we may serve you better.  We appreciate your help.

There is so much more I could share, and I will continue to report on our activities in the next newsletter.  In closing, I want to reiterate that the strength of ANCDS resides in its membership.  Our past accomplishments and future successes are dependent upon our member volunteers.  If you are one of our past or present volunteers, thank you for your contribution and service.  If you would like to volunteer, please let us know, either by emailing me directly, selecting the “Volunteer” link on the Member front page, or using the “contact us” quick link on the ANCDS website.  One last request, if you know someone who is not a member of ANCDS but who is also like-minded and committed to the mission of “Enhancing the communicative lives of people affected by neurologic disorders,” please take a moment to forward this newsletter to them and let them know about us.  

“There is power in numbers and there is power in unity.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Warm regards,

The EBCR Committee: Hard at Work!

JoAnn Silkes, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
Chair, Evidence-Based Clinical Research Committee

The Evidence-Based Clinical Research (EBCR) Committee has been hard at work!  If you’re not familiar with the EBCR Committee, our focus is on integrating and synthesizing the literature on neurogenic communication disorders to make it easily accessible to clinicians and/or identify areas in which further research is needed.  This work generally takes the form of systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and scoping reviews that are then published in various journals.

We currently have 8 writing groups: Aphasia, Apraxia, Motor Speech Disorders, Pediatric Motor Speech Disorders, Diverse Populations, TBI, Right Hemisphere Disorders, and Progressive Neurological Disorders.  Each writing group comprises 1-2 leaders with expertise in the topic and teams of 4-7 members.  Teams include researchers, clinicians, and students.  These groups first identify an area that needs investigation, then spend months — or years — identifying, gathering, reviewing, analyzing, and interpreting the literature before writing for publication.  I encourage you to explore the ANCDS-Authored Reviews list that is available on the ANCDS website.


ANCDS Clinical Spotlight: Michael Biel, CScD, CCC-SLP, BC-ANCDS

The Aphasia Book Club of Echo Park — near downtown Los Angeles — was formed in 2014.  My wife, Francie Schwarz, is a librarian at the Los Angeles Public Library, and we thought it would be interesting to combine our skills to create a book club for persons with aphasia.  Early on, we contacted local aphasia support groups inviting people to be part of a planning committee.  We attracted a group of diverse people, many with long histories of making their living in the arts.  Out of this planning committee, we formed our main goal: to create a stimulating and supportive book club where we could read and discuss a wide range of adult fiction and non-fiction.  Over the years, we have become more diverse in the types of literature we read.  In addition to books, we have spent considerable time reading short stories, plays, and poetry.  Some of our best discussions have come from reading poetry.  This led our members to want to learn more.  So far, we have hosted three 8-week poetry writing workshops taught by the well-known Los Angeles poet Brendan Constantine.

ANCDS Member Spotlight: Dr. Mary Purdy 

Name: Mary H. Purdy, Ph.D., BC-ANCDS
Organization: Southern Connecticut State University (Professor Emeritus)

Mary Purdy

We love featuring our members and their clinical and research interests, but we also enjoy learning more about our members’ interests outside of the profession!  Read about ANCDS Archivist Mary Purdy’s passion for the national parks, and find out how many she’s visited!  If you are (or know of) a member with a unique interest or hobby, email us at [email protected] for a chance to be featured in an upcoming newsletter.
1. Why did you decide to travel to the national parks?
I love nature and hiking!  My first visit to a national park was in high school, when our band took a bus from Evergreen Park, IL, to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.  I’ll never forget when I got my first glimpse of the mountains — they were absolutely amazing, and I was hooked.  I sporadically visited a few more parks with my husband after college, but I didn’t begin to get serious about traveling to all the parks until we had kids.  I wanted them to have the opportunity to see the beauty of the country.  In 2010, we visited 7 parks in 3 weeks.  I’ve been ticking them off regularly since then.

Hasini Weerathunge

1. Why were you interested in the ANCDS conference fellow program?

I strongly believe that understanding the mechanisms of communication disorders from a neurological perspective can lead to enhanced and informed therapeutics as well as robust objective measures for voice and speech symptoms.  My dissertation work is focused on investigating the effects of auditory and somatosensory feedback in laryngeal and articulatory motor control in speakers with Parkinson’s disease (PD).  The ANCDS Student Fellowship is a key factor in enhancing my network of researchers and resources in neurologic communication disorders and sciences to achieve my doctoral and career goals.  It provides me with the opportunity to get the guidance of mentors specialized in Neurological Disorders to focus my career goals as a clinical investigator.


In Memoriam: Dr. Marilyn Newhoff

Dr. Marilyn E. Newhoff

Dr. Marilyn Newhoff

It is with deep sorrow that we are writing to let you know of the death of our dear friend and colleague, Dr. Marilyn Newhoff.  As most of you know, she was a founding member of ANCDS and a major contributor to the Clinical Aphasiology Conference for over 40 years.  All of us who knew her will forever remember her as a person of quick wit and brilliant intellect, of outstanding academic contributions, organizational skills, and strategic leadership, who with a boundless sense of humor and passion for life, was unafraid to speak her mind, and was above all, a nurturing, kind, and unwavering friend.  Click below to read her obituary from San Diego State University (SDSU).
