Jacqueline Laures-Gore is a professor and chair of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. She is a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and a 2022 Honors of the Association recipient from the Georgia Speech-Language-Hearing Association. She has been a language section editor for the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology and a guest editor for Seminars in Speech and Language. Laures-Gore’s research is published in several highly regarded journals, including the Journal of Speech-Language-Hearing Research, Aphasiology, Brain and Language and Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation.
She directs the Aphasia and Motor Speech Disorders Laboratory at Georgia State, where current projects include understanding and addressing stress in persons with aphasia, post-stroke depression, integrative health practices and the Atlanta Motor Speech Disorders Corpus. She believes community engagement is crucial to improving the lives of persons with communication disorders. She leads the annual Good Morning Aphasia event at the university and spearheads Aphasia Friendly Atlanta – initiatives designed to connect families of those living with aphasia in Atlanta, improve aphasia awareness and make public spaces more accessible to those living with the disorder.
Her research projects have been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Academy of Neurological Communication Disorders and Sciences and others. Laures-Gore actively mentors students at the undergraduate through doctoral levels and teaches courses in adult neurogenic communication disorders.
