Goals and Research

The aim of my work is to improve the quality of life of individuals who suffer from cognitive/communicative disorders and dysphagia.  My clinical experience has focused on helping adults with impairments affecting speech, language, cognition, and sensorimotor control.  My research has focused primarily on quantifying and improving speech intelligibility.
