I presented at the Doug Brooks Spring Course for the Houston Association of Communication Disorders. My presentation was focused on the connection between Developmental Language Disorders, Speech Sound Disorders and Literacy and the role of the SLP in assessment and treatment of these diagnoses.

My colleagues Jane Tragesser, USLHC Clinic Director, Laura Cizek, Ed.D, Associate Clinical Faculty, Megan Joseph, MS, CCC-SLP, Clinical Educator, and I presented at the Speech Pathology Association virtual conference. Our presentation focused on the learning strategies we used to transition in-person treatment to teletherapy in response to COVID-19 precautions in April of 2021.

The focus of my Culminating Project, the final requirement prior to completing my Doctorate of Speech-Language Pathology, was on the application of learning science in clinical education in the field of speech-language pathology. This mixed-methods study was designed with support from Northwestern faculty member, Stacy Kaplan, Ph.D., and is currently in process.

My colleagues Jane Tragesser, UH Clinic Director, Laura Cizek, Ed.D, Associate Clinical Faculty, and I presented at the SEUCE Conference in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Our presentation focused on the implementation of clinical teams within the university setting. We updated our data and presented our modifications at the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Convention in Houston in February 2020.

I completed a systematic review that covered the treatment of speech sound disorders in phonology. Specifically, the review asks:

1. What are the current approaches to speech sound disorders in phonology?
2. Which interventions are the most effective for treating these disorders?
3. When selecting targets for treatment, what methods are proven to be effective?

I presented a poster with the results of this review at the ASHA Convention in Boston in November of 2018.
