Research Interest
- Auditory Processing Assessment and Treatment’
- This
is a specialty clinic that is offered
by the University of Oklahoma
that gives students a multiple disciplinary
experience.
Information obtained in the assessment
from the audiology and speech-language
pathology sections is combined
with information from the schools to
help
with development
of a comprehensive plan for the
individuals who are referred for testing.
- Physiological
Assessment of the Auditory System
- Neuro-maturation
of the auditory system can be measured
using the physiological
assessment
tools of the auditory brainstem
response (ABR), middle latency
response (MLR),
and late cortical response
(P300). These assessment
tools link very closely
to the central auditory processing capabilities
of children or adults.
Clinical Expertise
- Diagnostic Assessment: adults and pediatrics
for auditory or vestibular systems
- Adult Auditory
Rehabilitation: amplification, communication
strategies, auditory training,
and speech reading
- Pediatric Auditory Habilitation:
amplification, auditory verbal techniques,
and total communication
techniques
- Central Auditory Processing Diagnosis
and Treatment: behavioral and physiological
measures
with
treatment
- Physiological Measures: Auditory
Brainstem Response, Middle Latency Response
and Cortical
Evoked Response
