Speech-Language Pathologist since 1971
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website. I have been a
Speech-Language Pathologist
since 1971 and have had extensive
experience in a variety of areas, including neurological disorders
in adults and children (strokes, traumatic brain injuries, stuttering, etc.), voice disorders, and cleft
palate.
The links you can click on will give you more information on

I am a retired university professor who was honored with the designation of Professor Emeritus. Although I retired from teaching full-time, I have not retired from my profession. I continue to author textbooks and therapy materials, present seminars and workshops nationally and internationally, and maintain a solo private practice. I work with a variety of kinds and ages of clients and have worked extensively in acute, subacute, and convalescent hospitals. I have been an active therapist throughout my career. I also have worked as an expert witness in numerous medical-legal cases.
I have been retained as an expert witness by plaintiff and defense attorneys for over 50 medical-legal cases in numerous states. I review sometimes thousands of pages of records, documents, depositions, and videotapes, perform IMEs, do depositions, court hearings, and court trials. I have been on the witness stand for up to 3½ hours. I have received training from attorneys and judges at several seminars for expert witnesses.
The
all-day seminars and workshops I have presented in cities throughout the U.S. and in several other countries (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Egypt, Romania) have been highly rated with nearly 100% of participants saying they would like to take more
seminars/workshops with me.
