Elison Lab for Developmental Brain and Behavior Research - Institute of Child Development

Developing agent-based models for Dr. Nicole Li-Jessen's Voice Lab to predict what factors of stigma prevent people seeking therapy and treatment for voice disorders.

Researching how children learn words from screens, and how social contingency of the teacher's responses and engagement of the child impact learning outcomes.

Developed a flutter application, Echoes, which assists clinicians to easily administer non-word repetition tests from any tablet or smart phone. Many speech language disorders cause difficulties speaking clearly, understanding language accurately, or communicating effectively, and Echoes will increase clinical use of nonword repetition tests to accurately diagnose the underlying cause and design effective intervention.
