Research Profile
Dr. Ellis is engaged in research designed to understand outcomes associated with adult neurologically based disorders of communication and factors that contribute to the lack of equity in service provision and outcome disparities that exist among some population groups.

2. Economic issues associated with neurologically-based disorders of communication disorders; specifically the costs and cost-effectiveness of speech-language pathology interventions.
