Pediatric Work History |
| |
During
my graduate studies, I worked with pediatrics from birth-to-eighteen in
several settings including neonatal intensive care units, acute
inpatient care, outpatient rehabilitation, early intervention
family-centered therapy, preprimary impaired, and school settings. These
diverse experiences granted me the opportunity to work with children on
several areas including articulation, phonology, language, voice,
resonance, fluency, cognition, augmentative communication, feeding,
motor impairments including apraxia and dysarthria, Autism Spectrum
Disorder and many others. Those experiences carried me forward to begin
my career in Myrtle Beach at Young Talkers. |

Research |
| |
I
continue to work on several research projects that were initiated in
graduate school. My work with Dr. Ida Stockman has allowed me to present
at the 2010 American Speech-Language-Hearing-Association Convention
on “Grammatical Ellipsis: An Unexplored Window Into Children’s
Communicative Competence.” This research analyzes grammatical ellipsis
in children’s natural language samples. My work with Dr. Soo-Eun Chang’s
NIH funded research project is investigating the brain bases of
developmental stuttering and trajectories toward recovery or
persistency. Finally, I am continuing to work with a team in Michigan’s
Early-On birth-to-three Program creating a user-friendly dictionary to
provide to parents to better understand speech pathology terminology. | | | | | |
Workshops Attended | | |
"Picky Eaters vs. Problem Feeders: The SOS Approach to Feeding"
This was a 3-day training
conference on the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding.
This is a feeding program that is a non-invasive developmental approach
to feeding. It is designed to assess and address all the factors
involved in feeding difficulties. This approach allows a child to
interact with food in a playful, non-stressful way. It focuses on
increasing a child’s comfort level through exploring and learning about
the different properties of foods, including texture, smell, taste, and
consistency. The SOS approach follows a hierarchy to feeding from
tolerating foods in the room, interacting with the food, smelling,
touching, tasting, and eventually, eating the food. | | | | | | Young Talkers
