The RHDBank provides free resources to clinicians, researchers, educators, and students. Dr. Davida Fromm worked on the AphasiaBank project and oversees the other adult clinical language banks that have been developed as part of the TalkBank system for the study of communication skills in dementia, right hemisphere disorder, and traumatic brain injury. Dr. Brian MacWhinney developed a series of 13 TalkBank open access online databases (which includes the RHDBank) for the study of language learning, multilingualism, and language disorders. Dr. Johnson and Dr. Blake were co-creators of RightHemisphere.org, a website designed to provide education and resources about RHD which is mentioned in the article. Dr. Blake is the Publications Editor for the International Cognitive-Communication Disorders conference which is also mentioned in the article. Dr. Blake has presented nationally and internationally on evidence-based practice for disorders associated with RHD. Additional author disclosures can be found at http://links.lww.com/TLD/A73.
