This morning, the Center for Brain Recovery received a special visit from Boston University's community resource dog, Bean!
Bean immediately brightened up the office and brought plenty of play and cuddles to the CBR team.
Thanks for stopping by our center, Bean!

Results showed:
1) Improvement for trained and untrained naming targets (direct transfer)
2) Gains in select semantic processing tasks (near transfer)
3) Improved overall language function (WAB-AQ) but not domain-general cog (both far transfer)
🎉 Benefits across both languages
