Stephanie M. Grasso is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin.

She works primarily with historically underserved populations from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in order to address health disparities among historically marginalized populations.

Her research investigates neurologically-based communication disorders within the context of bilingualism. Specifically, her work aims to establish the efficacy of treatment approaches for bilingual adults with aphasia and utilizes neuroimaging to investigate variability in treatment responsiveness. She also examines bilingualism as a contributor to cognitive reserve in neurodegenerative disorders affecting language and cognition.
