Statement

Dr. Blanchet has been an assistant professor at SUNY Fredonia since August of 2005. His primary interests are neurogenic and organic speech disorders, and he teaches courses in areas such as neuroscience, motor speech disorders, research design, craniofacial anomalies, phonetics, and (beginning summer of ’07) corporate speech pathology. Current and future research projects include the effects of delayed auditory feedback (DAF) on speech production, and university students’ perceptions of professors who stutter. Dr. Blanchet is particularly interested in involving students in research, and enjoys collaboration with students and colleagues from various academic disciplines.

Communication Disorders Research Laboratory (CDR Lab)

The most recently constructed research lab in the Department of Speech Pathology & Audiology, the CDR Lab houses state-of-the-art speech instrumentation such as a KayPENTAX Computerized Speech Lab (CSL), Nasometer, and Facilitator. The lab is also equipped with desktop computers and audio recording equipment for data collection and analysis. These instruments are utilized in experimental and survey research projects by Dr. Paul Blanchet, in collaboration with students and other faculty members. Current and planned research focuses on students' perceptions of professors who stutter, and the effects of altered auditory feedback on speech production. The CDR Lab is also well-suited for clinical assessments of voice, resonance, fluency, and articulation disorders in speakers with Parkinson's disease, as well as other clinical populations.
