Allison Aaron Receives an F31 Grant!
Allison Aaron, MS, CCC-SLP, has received an F31 grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. This project, titled “The Lombard effect in muscle tension dysphonia: Mechanistic and clinical characterization,” seeks to investigate voice changes associated with speaking in challenging acoustic environments to better inform clinical care for individuals with voice disorders. This project will fill a crucial theoretical knowledge gap of the underlying mechanisms of the Lombard effect and inform development of individualized clinical assessment and treatment for individuals with sensorimotor deficits underlying their voice disorders. Congratulations, Allison!
