Marian Brady

Honorary Professor Marian Brady is affiliated with the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Queensland. Her research focuses on aphasia treatment, stroke rehabilitation, and healthcare accessibility, particularly in developing patient-centered interventions. Professor Brady has contributed to establishing international standards for post-stroke aphasia research and terminology reform in clinical practice.

Her work emphasizes accessible goal-setting tools for stroke survivors with aphasia, such as the Access G-AP resource, and explores cross-cultural practices in aphasia rehabilitation through multinational surveys. She has also advocated for replacing outdated medical terminology like 'dysphasia' with 'aphasia' to improve patient communication and understanding.

Professor Brady collaborates with global experts in neurology, speech therapy, and rehabilitation science. Her publications span book chapters, peer-reviewed journals, and conference proceedings, addressing topics such as therapy efficacy, clinical reporting standards, and digital health solutions for aphasia care.
