(1996) from the University of Northern Iowa. She earned her Ph.D. from Purdue
University (2004). Her research interests include phonology (both segmental
and suprasegmental), pragmatic language acquisition, vocabulary and emergent
literacy development in preschoolers and assessment of at risk populations. Her
most recent research has been focused on determining evidence based practice
standards for screening and diagnosing speech and language impairment in lowsocioeconomic and minority preschoolers.
Carlin Hageman, Ph.D., is a professor and the head of the Department of

motor learning principles to therapy or speech disorders.
Joy Hesse, M.A., CCC-SLP, is a practicing speech-language pathologist at ENT
Clinic of Iowa, P.C., in West Des Moines. She is a graduate of the University of
Northern Iowa. Ms. Hesse has worked in acute care, outpatient rehabilitation
and presently a private office setting. For the past 13 years, she has specialized in
evaluation and treatment of voice problems, head and neck cancer, dysphagia,

Health Science Center at San Antonio and completed a residency in Ambulatory
Care & Geriatrics at the Audie L. Murphy VA Medical Center in San Antonio,
