Robert C. Marshall
Ph.D., FASHA, CCC-SLP,
BC-ANCDS
Professor, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences
Division of Communication Sciences and Disorders
Dr. Marshall, a speech-language pathologist for over 40 years, is a Professor in the Division of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) and Research Consultant for the University of Michigan Aphasia Program (UMAP) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Before coming to the University of Kentucky in 2001, he was the Chief of the Audiology and Speech Pathology Program at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Portland, Oregon and an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology at the Oregon Health Sciences University (1969-1995) and a Professor in the Department of Communication Disorders at the University of Rhode Island (1996-2001).
Dr. Marshall is a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. In 1996, he received the Honors of the Academy of Neurological Communication Disorders and Sciences. He currently serves as the North American Editor of the journal Aphasiology, a position he has held since the launching of the journal in 1987.
Scholarly Focus
Dr. Marshall has published more than 120 papers in scientific journals, 23 book chapters, and two books, and made over 200 presentations at local, state, regional, and national meetings. Throughout his career, his research interests have centered on acquired neurogenic communication disorders in adults, particularly the assessment and management of individuals with aphasia, motor speech disorders, traumatic brain injuries, and psychogenic communication disorders. His funded research has allowed him to examine (1) the role of self correction in recovery from aphasia, (2) efficacy of aphasia treatment, (3) treatment of aphasic naming deficits, (4) group treatment for aphasia, and (5) more recently, the development of novel clinical assessment tools such as the Kentucky Aphasia Test (KAT), the Rapid Assessment of Problem Solving Test (RAPS), and the Calendar Comprehension Test (CCT). He has written the only single-author book on group treatment of aphasia, Introduction to Group Treatment for Aphasia: Design and Management, (Butterworth, 1998).
Educational Focus
Several of Dr. Marshall’s students and clinical fellows have gone on to complete a Ph.D. degree and become outstanding researchers and leaders in CSD. These include persons such as Kathryn M. Yorkston, Connie A. Tompkins, Cynthia K. Thompson, Donald B. Freed, Lee Ann C. Golper, Marie T. Rau, Patricia Dowden, Monica McHenry and others. At the University of Kentucky, Dr. Marshall has taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in CSD. These include Aphasia, Motor Speech Disorders, Fluency Disorders, and Introduction to Speech and Language Disorders. He also teaches and mentors doctoral students in the Rehabilitation Sciences Doctoral Program and supervises Research Apprenticeships and Independent Studies of the Ph.D. students. He is also heavily involved in clinical management of persons with aphasia seen in the University of Kentucky Speech and Hearing Clinic.
