Jennifer Brello is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Ohio State University and the Director of the OSU Aphasia Initiative. She has over 28 years of experience working as a speech-language pathologist. While she has enjoyed a diverse range of opportunities and experiences in various roles at the University, of utmost significance is the development of the OSU Aphasia Initiative. The Initiative, established in 2015 with the ongoing support of a development grant, was created to provide a clinical training environment in adult neurogenic cognitive-communication disorders for students pursuing graduate degrees in speech-language pathology. Since that time, it has grown into a comprehensive interprofessional training platform through the integration of students from Speech and Hearing Science, Occupational Therapy, Social Work, and Medical Dietetics. She has had the privilege of presenting her clinical insights and research at various state, national, and international conferences. Jennifer’s work has resulted in recognition by her peers. She was inducted as a Fellow of the National Academies of Practice and received the Group Recognition Award for her work with the Transforming Culture through ECLiPSE: Education for Clinical Interprofessional Simulation Excellence Program at OSU. Additionally, Jennifer was named the 2021 Field Instructor of the Year by the OSU College of Social Work and inducted as a Fellow of the Ohio Speech-Language Hearing Association.
