I teach two graduate courses per semester and supervise students with Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) diagnostics. In addition, I consult with other faculty and students associated with individuals who are AAC communicators receiving services at the Center for Communicative Disorders. I am very proud of our "State of the Art" Augmentative Communication Lab that we have here at UWSP. In addition, I recently received a St. Michael's Ministry Health Care grant that has allowed the Center to develop an AAC Equipment Lending Library for adults with ALS and Parkinson's Disease.
The courses I am responsible for include the following:
CD 367/567 Language Programming in Educational Settings
CD 710 Research Methods
CD 713 Diagnostic Processes
CD 735 Language Disorders: School-Aged through the Elderly
CD 742 Seminar in PDD/Autism
CD 765 Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC)
CD 495/791 Clinical Supervision
