Dr. Carozza is an active clinician-researcher with extensive experience in adult neurogenic communication disorders. Her original research reported on the breakdown of language retrieval in individuals with dementia of the AlzheimerÂ鶹´«Ã½™s type, demonstrating differences in the patterns of language recognition and recall in normal elderly as compared to those individuals who will go on to develop early stage dementia. The study demonstrated latency changes that could be early disease markers.

Dr. CarozzaÂ鶹´«Ã½™s additional studies include works on quality of life approaches for individuals affected by chronic neurogenic diseases such as stroke-induced aphasia.

The graduates of the CSD program at Â鶹´«Ã½ have secured positions at prestigious places of employment and advanced training both in the metropolitan NY area and across the country. Our advisory board consists of many of these accomplished professionals and they have co-authored academic and clinical work with myself and others in the department since its founding, of which I was the first appointed CSD graduate school director when I hired at Pace in 2015.
