Erika Mangan, class of 2022, recently presented at two conferences related to her work in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).

In December she presented at the Tennessee Association of Assistive Technology Conference in Nashville, and in January she presented at the Assistive Technology Industry Association Conference in Orlando. She presented at both conferences on Using Shared Drives to Implement AAC, which she adapted from a project in the Implementation Science course she took while in the SLPD program.

Congratulations, Erika!

Yesterday our SLPD students wrapped up the first half of the semester! First year students completed their course on JEDI in the Health Professions, while second year students finished their Implementation Science course. After a week break, they will continue with their semesters and their capstone project work.

And for our spring 2025 graduates, the countdown is on until completion of their degree requirements!

Sarah Moriarty, SLPD class of 2025, recently achieved two impressive milestones.

Last month she presented at the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) 2024 Annual Reading, Literacy, and Learning Conference. Her presentation, entitled "Supporting Mental Health in Children and Adolescents with Dyslexia," was related to her Capstone project on the same topic and highlighted the issues surrounding mental health in young people with dyslexia that are often not identified or addressed during dyslexia treatment.

Earlier this year she also completed the requirements to earn the designation of Structured Literacy Dyslexia Specialist by the Center for Effective Reading Instruction (CERI), a subsidiary of the International Dyslexia Association. This certification will assist her in her current position at a clinic specializing in literacy disorders.

We're so proud of our students for disseminating their impressive work and continuing to grow in their professional lives. Congratulations, Sarah!

My journey into implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) began with the QIPE course that sparked a deeper passion for integrating research into clinical care. That experience led me to my current role as an Allied Health Research Scientist at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta!

In this role, I have the opportunity to:
-Bridge the gap between research and hands-on clinical care
-Lead quality improvement initiatives that enhance patient outcomes
-Support healthcare teams with evidence-based strategies that improve the care we provide every day

Last week, the class of 2026 gathered as a full group on Zoom for their fall intensive. Over the course of two days, they learned about JEDI, did some goal journaling, heard from program alums, workshopped their problem statements, and so much more. Now they are energized, ready to power through the second half of the semester.

We are so excited for this group as they are just starting out on their doctorate journey, and we can't wait to see where the next two years takes them!

10/22/2024

Today marks the start of the Fall 2 semester! First year students begin Clinical Research Methods, where they will learn qualitative and quantitative research methods applicable to the health professions, and think critically about the ways in which theories and models are used to guide evaluation, intervention, research design, and professional practice.

Second year students begin Quality Improvement and Program Evaluation, where they will take on a quality improvement project using real-world data and be prepared to implement a quality improvement or program evaluation initative in their own practice setting.

All students continue their Capstone Project work - first-year students will present their problem statements and write their literature synthesis in Develop, and second-year students will create their dissemination plans and will begin to develop their manuscript or written summary including their analysis plan in Advance.

Good luck to everyone!
