Dysphagia Following Stroke

Stephanie Daniels, Ph.D. Research Speech Pathologist Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Houston, Texas Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Baylor College of Medicine Stephanie K. Daniels, Ph.D. is a research speech pathologist at the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, Texas and is Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Baylor College of Medicine. Prior to obtaining her doctorate, she was a practicing clinician for twelve years. Her research and clinical work has focused on neurogenic dysphagia. Maggie-Lee Huckabee, Ph.D. Senior Lecturer Department of Communication Disorders, University of Canterbury Senior Researcher Van der Veer Institute for Parkinson's and Brain Research in Christchurch, New Zealand Maggie-Lee Huckabee, Ph.D., practiced as a clinician for thirteen years before the frustration of never knowing "the answers" led her to an academic career. She is now senior lecturer in the Department of Communication Disorders, University of Canterbury and senior researcher at the Van der Veer Institute for Parkinson's and Brain Research in Christchurch, New Zealand. She still hasn't found "the answers" but is trying, with research interests focusing on the complexities of behaviorally-driven neural adaptation and biomechanical change leading to swallowing recovery. Dr. Huckabee has a great time supervising terrific, emerging researchers, overseeing a busy laboratory and enjoying the beauty of New Zealand.
