The content of this website was conceived and developed by Dr. Paula Brown in collaboration with members of the Speech-Language Discipline. Particular assistance was provided by Ms. Karen Dobkowski and Ms. Marianne Gustafson. Ongoing maintenance of this site is provided by the current department members.  

This site could not have been developed without the valuable cooperation of the many students who were willing to have their instructional sessions recorded for demonstration purposes. We thank them immensely for their help!
