The REKNEW research group addresses the complex communication needs of children and adults with developmental, acquired and/or neurodegenerative disabilities. We work on many different REKNEW projects, targeting different adult groups and communication supports. Our approach is based on a philosophy of Participatory Action Research: we believe that individuals with complex communication needs should be part of our research endeavors, from the initial questions posed in a study to the dissemination of research results.

We invite you to explore our website and examine our different clinical research projects. We would be happy to discuss our work with you, whether you are interested in participating in a study, supporting us, learning about our recent publications or knowledge translation activities, or just finding out more about communication supports for adults.

Betts Peters, REKNEW Research Associate, attended the National Center for Adaptive Neurotechnologies Summer Short Course, held July 8-26, 2019, in Albany, NY. This NIH-sponsored course brought together 24 researchers, students, engineers, and clinicians for a jam-packed program of lectures and hands-on training activities involving all aspects of brain-computer interfaces and other adaptive neurotechnologies. This was a unique opportunity to meet and network with other up-and-coming researchers, learn from experts in the field, and try out some fascinating technology.
