Project Assistant, WISC Lab
The Wisconsin Intelligibility, Speech, and Communication (WISC) Lab is directed by Dr. Katie Hustad and is dedicated to the study of communication development in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The primary objectives of the research group are to characterize changes in speech production and speech intelligibility among children with CP from the age of 12 months to adulthood, and to generate theoretically driven, data based longitudinal models of speech and language development that predict outcomes and guide treatment decisions. The individual hired for this PA position will assist in data collection (including speech recordings, formal and informal assessment of speech and language abilities, listener transcriptions) and data reduction. For more information and to apply, visit the Project Assistant position description.
