Tiffany Chavers-Edgar is a postdoctoral fellow with a PhD in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences from the University of Texas at Austin. Her work focuses on the efficacy of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) interventions that target social communication for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. She is also interested in studying AAC methods for promoting language and cognition for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and fragile X syndrome.

In this presentation we will discuss an ongoing study seeking to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and reliability of one discourse analysis approach (main concept analysis) paired with standard or enhanced training materials for practicing speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to use in practice.

Speech and language changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia have been well documented and are typically described as “empty speech,” meaning speech filled with nonspecific language, circumlocutions, and increases in silent pauses.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive degenerative condition that causes significant cognitive, communication, and swallowing deficits. Classically, central nervous system pathology is associated with these deficits. However recently, the peripheral nervous system has been implicated, but this is not well understood.

Real-world auditory environments have rich acoustic properties that fluctuate in frequency and intensity over multiple time scales, from milliseconds to hours to days. In the face of this complexity, how does the auditory system respond to the prevailing sound conditions in different behavioral and social contexts?

The goal of this presentation is to 1) explore how FMR1-related variation influences language and cognition across the lifespan, and 2) examine how aspects of language relate to clinical symptoms associated with both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative conditions.

I will present findings from a recent study in the lab in which we evaluated sound localization and speech intelligibility skills in young adults with Down syndrome. I will also discuss how their performance on these auditory tasks is associated with hearing loss and cognitive ability.
