What We Do

The BRACE lab’s primary focus is on designing, running and measuring the impacts of intergenerational programs focusing on cognitive engagement in a social and strengths-based context. We use a combination of behavioral methods including observation, cognitive-linguistic testing and self-report to measure functional communication, cognition and quality of life prior to, during and following program participation.
