Communicative Sciences and Disorders
Stacey Rimikis, Ph.D., CCC-SLP is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders. She is an alumna of New York University, having completed her Ph.D. at NYU Steinhardt’s Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders.
She received her M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from Queens College, CUNY, and her B.A. from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. As a clinician and educator, Dr. Rimikis’s expertise centers on acquired neurogenic communication disorders, including aphasia and neurocognitive disorders. Her research investigates the underlying mechanisms of language processing and production in both impaired and unimpaired populations in order to better guide the development of clinical intervention.
Her most recent lines of research examine the influence of phonological patterns in the language on morphological impairment and how individual differences in semantic processing impact lexical retrieval. Dr. Rimikis is a practicing speech-language pathologist, specializing in communication and swallowing impairment in adult and geriatric populations. She holds clinical certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and New York State licensure in speech-language pathology.
