Research
Research Interests
Jose G. Centeno is a clinical researcher and certified practitioner in Speech-Language Pathology. He conducts research and teaches in areas that respond to the clinical and social needs of ethnoracially diverse adult populations with chronic age-related neurogenic communication disorders. He particularly focuses on older Latinx adults with post-stroke communication disorders (aphasia). Professor Centeno's research is at the intersection of neurolinguistic theory (aphasia), bilingualism, ethnogeriatrics, and health equity. His initial work on post-stroke verb use by Spanish speakers with aphasia generated understandings on sociocognitive factors in verb processing in the post-stroke spoken language of monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-English speakers. His research in service assessment of ethnoracially diverse adult caseloads with neurogenic communication disorders shed light on target educational, professional, and experimental areas that can be improved to strengthen services and minimize care disparities in the ethnogeriatric groups in neurorehabilitation. His present research focuses on examining needs, barriers, and facilitators in the care of Latinx adults with post-stroke aphasia through the narratives of their caregivers.
