Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist

Bio

I am a pediatric speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of clinical experience. My research interests have grown out of my clinical experiences and now include investigating classroom-based supports for children at-risk for poor academic outcomes as the result of experiential or developmental differences. I invite you to take a look at the work going on in my CLOUDS laboratory – Cultivating Language OUtcomes in Diverse Systems.
