Thea knowles betboom team
Bio
Dr. Thea Knowles is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders at Michigan State University and directs the Clinical Applications of betboom team Acoustics Lab. She is a certified betboom team-language pathologist with an expertise in motor betboom team disorders and particularly betboom team disorders secondary to Parkinson’s disease. She received her Bachelor of Arts from McGill University (Montreal, Canada) and received her Master of Clinical Science in betboom team-Language Pathology as well as her PhD in Health & Rehabilitation Sciences from Western University (London, Canada).
Her betboom team program focuses on describing acoustic-phonetic characteristics of dysarthria. Specifically, her work examines how changes in the acoustic signal modulate how well typical listeners understand the speech of people with dysarthria and how different treatment approaches impact this relationship. Informed by her background in linguistics and speech acoustics, her betboom team interests can broadly be categorized into three themes:
- Acoustic distinctiveness and its role in betboom team intelligibility and listener effort
- Understanding variable and adverse influences on spoken betboom team (examples: speech strategies, speech contexts, face masks, etc.)
- The use of technology for betboom team treatment and measurement (examples: betboom team amplification devices, automated betboom team measurement tools)
