1. A sample informed consent form designed for subjects in the AphasiaBank project. This form can be modified for other projects.

2. An actual informed consent form approved at CMU for the AphasiaBank project.

3. A form expressing your permission to include your corpus in TalkBank.
4. A picture-based consent form for aphasics.
