Join us for an educational webinar on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 at 5:00 PM EDT presented by Dysphonia International.
Dr. Katie Marks from the STEPP Lab will discuss her work on quantitative measures for adductor spasmodic dysphonia. Dr. Teresa Kimberly from the Brain Recovery Lab, MGH Institute of Health Professions, will be presenting her work on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as an intervention for adults with spasmodic dysphonia. The two labs are working together so volunteers can participate in both studies. We hope you will plan to join us! REGISTER HERE.

IN MEMORY
Daniel Lee Bray
ALIVE FOREVER MOREAugust 24, 1984 – December 20, 2020 (36 years old)
Daniel was a son, brother, animal lover, artist, animator, poet, rapper, musician and extraordinary soul who was filled with extraordinary faith while conquering enormous challenges after being diagnosed with Spasmodic Dysphonia at 19 years old. His story is a story of triumph, victory, courage and understanding. Daniel left many life lessons and through his experience on earth he will continue to touch lives inspiring us all to be more aware and to build more awareness of what brought him home. Daniel is a warrior and his inspiration that has been collected by his family will be used to bring hope and to change the world!
“We don’t yet see things clearly. We are squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing Him directly just as He knows us!”
— 1 Corinthians 13:12We Love You Always Dan!
