The first year SLP graduate students had the opportunity to engage in hands-on experiences with Talk-to-Me Technologies representative, Emily Neuman. The students engaged in a simulated shared reading activity and learned the importance of making sure the client's basic needs are met before engaging in a therapy activity. Our students are working hard this semester and learning a lot about AAC!

Our 2nd-year AuD students got hands-on this week with the video Head Impulse Test (vHIT), guided by a fantastic guest session from e3 Diagnostics. From covert saccades to RALPs and LARPs, students sharpened their vestibular assessment skills, asked amazing questions, and looked great while doing it! Huge thanks to e3 for bringing their expertise and making this such an engaging, practical learning experience!

New research sheds light on how cognitive and linguistic skills shape the relationship and potential overlap between Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), dyslexia, and ADHD. These findings highlight the need to evaluate specific cognitive-linguistic abilities (like phonological and working memory) when evaluating how language and attention difficulties affect reading.

It's peak fall season at UWSHC! We have been busy with some very fun events! Last week, we hosted our annual Spooky Storytime Friends Event with record turn out! Everyone had a great time listening to a spooky story, doing some crafts, and, of course, enjoying some treats. We even had a Halloween dance party!

This week, as is tradition, our 2nd-year AuD students dressed in Audiology Themed Costumes. They are tests or questionnaires, used by audiologists. Can you guess what they are?

Last week, the UW Speech and Hearing Clinic audiology team partnered with the Center for Special Children at Vernon Health in La Farge to provide hearing care for children and adults from the Plain and local communities.

First- and second-year Doctor of Audiology (AuD) students, supervised by audiologists Dr. Rachel Lee, Dr. Margaret Koeritzer, and Dr. Melanie Buhr-Lawler, provided hearing evaluations and diagnoses for individuals of all ages, helping make hearing healthcare more accessible to families who may otherwise face barriers to care.

The Center for Special Children is one of only six clinics in the nation dedicated to serving special children, primarily within the Amish and Mennonite communities, through genetic testing and treatment for rare conditions. The program’s goal is to help families affected by complex medical needs access affordable healthcare, while building an expansive catalog of diseases to improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.

We are proud to collaborate with Vernon Health in supporting this mission of compassionate, community-centered care. ❤👂

Our UWSHC adult AAC group members had the opportunity to learn about safety and the job of a police officer. Thank you, Captain Czarnecki from Port Washington Police Department for taking time out of your busy day to join us!
