Teaching Interests
- My interests include continually seeking new ways to teach students that utilized experiential activities to ensure not only providing the students with knowledge but the skills to apply what they have learned. My interest of expanding and improving my teaching skills while acquiring evidence based practice to expand and promote therapy and diagnostic skills is embedded in all I do in order to share those skills and knowledge with the students at ISU. Particular areas of interest include using evidence based practice to guide and teach ISU students information pertaining to speech sound disorder, language disorders, behavior modification, literacy, AAC, and the role of the SLPs in education, treatment and preventative measures.
Research Interests
- Although I have not conducted formal research recently. Over the past 20 years, I have conducted evidence based practice application by utilizing two groups and implementing two contrasting approaches to determine the effectiveness of the different approaches. Examples include comparing the effects of teaching phonological awareness skills to children with severe speech sound disorders to traditional therapy without the focus of phonological awareness skills. Additional examples of informal research I have conducted include 1) two groups of children utilizing gestural cues compared to the use of verbal cues only and 2) the effectiveness of various service delivery models when addressing differentiating disorders.
