About Caroline Spencer
My research and teaching interests represent my dual interests in neuroscience and speech pathology. Outside of work, I like spending time with my husband and two Great Danes, Clark and Bridget, creating art, and volunteering with the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance.
Research Interests
- speech production
- neural and behavioral mechanisms
- atypical speech motor control
- differences in speech motor skills in disorders
Teaching
S501 Neurological Foundations of Speech Language Pathology; S555 Motor Speech Disorders
