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 research is focusing on students' perceptions of college professors who stutter.
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.
