Disorders and Sciences Department at
Syracuse University. She completed her
doctoral training at the University of Iowa
and postdoctoral training at Vanderbilt
University before joining the department
of Communication Sciences and Disorders
at Syracuse University in 2013.
Dr. Tumanova’s clinical and research
interests are in the area of developmental
stuttering. Her research is focused on the
role of temperament, linguistic and speech
motor control abilities in the development
of stuttering in young children. The purpose of the current work in the Stuttering
Research laboratory is to study how
preschool-age children react to speech
errors and disfluencies in their own speech
and whether differences exist between
children who do and do not stutter. We use
psychophysiology measures such as skin
conductance and heart rate variability to
explore children’s reactions during different
language related stressors as well as a
motion capture system to assess children’s
speech motor control abilities. Several studies have shown that children who stutter are
more reactive and less able to regulate their
reactivity and attention than normally fluent
children, the work in our lab is focused on
uncovering how these differences in emotional reactivity and regulation may affect
speech production and specifically speech
fluency in these children.
Dr. Tumanova has presented her work at
national and international conferences and
published in peer-reviewed journals.
Dr. Heather Balog
Heather Balog earned her B.A.in
Communication Sciences and Disorders
(1994) and her M.A. in Speech-Language

Ph.D. from Purdue University (2004) where
her research interests focused on speech
and language development and disorders in
young children. Her area research interests
include phonology (both segmental and
supra-segmental), pragmatic language
acquisition, vocabulary and emergent literacy development in preschoolers,
and assessment of at risk populations.
She currently works full-time in her private
practice in Plymouth, MI. She has recently
served as President for the Michigan
Speech-Language-Hearing Association
(MSHA), and she currently serves on the
Michigan Speech-Language-Hearing
Foundation Board, She remains active with
