Speech-language pathologists, SLP grad students sought for Crane research study

A speech pathologist points to her mouth while holding a painted wooden letter S. A child is looking at the mouth of the speech pathologist as the letter S is pronounced.

The Speech-Therapy Experiences in Public Schools-2 (STEPS-2) project is recruiting graduate students in Speech-Language Pathology and practicing Speech-Language Pathologists to participate in a research study.

The goal of this study is to understand and improve SLP talk during speech-language therapy sessions.


Study participation includes about two hours of activities:

  • Complete a basic demographic and professional background questionnaire (about 10 minutes).
  • Complete two simulated therapy sessions following orientation or training, plus debriefing activities (about 110 minutes total, to be conducted in-person here).

Study benefits include:

  • Incentive: A gift card worth $60 in value upon completion of the study.
  • Help us learn more about speech-language therapy.
