ASP Annual Newsletter - 2023 in Review

ANNUAL NEWSLETTER

PROGRESS MAKES PERFECT

Dr. Ashley Harkrider, Professor and Chair

Phase 2 of the renovation of our space in the UT Conference Center is progressing nicely. Demolition is complete and all rooms are framed, wired, plumbed, sheet rocked, primed, and painted. Ceilings are being installed, and millwork and floors are next on the agenda. The months of June and July will be spent furnishing the spaces and installing audio-visual equipment, with a projected move-in date of August. Though I would love to detail every room in our new space, it would take the entire newsletter to do it. So, I will content myself with highlighting just a few of the many special rooms we are creating in our state-of-the-art facilities, knowing that you will have to come see all of them for yourselves in October at our Ceremonial Grand Opening and Open House.

As you will see on the next couple of pages, we have curated our new space to support current operations and expand upon future multidisciplinary models of research, clinical practice, and education. Obviously, it takes more than newly renovated space to achieve our goals, and in 2023 we were excited to welcome our newest ASP team members Liz Hawley – Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), Eliza Wiseman-Floyd – SLP, Elizabeth Robinson – SLP, Amber Kapnick – Instructor and Occupational Therapist, Jen Pohl – Administrative Specialist III, and Dr. Saravanan Elangovan – Clinical Professor and Director of Clinical Education in Audiology.

PHASE 2 ACADEMIC AND CLINICAL SPACE HIGHLIGHTS

ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING (ADL) APARTMENT

This apartment will provide realistic experiences, unlike anything that takes place in our clinical exam rooms, therapy spaces, or research labs. Take, for example, a patient who has recently received a new hearing aid, cochlear implant, or assistive listening device. The audiologist and graduate students can use the ADL apartment to practice using the device and assess patient satisfaction while they engage with a communication partner, watch television, load the dishwasher, or dine in a simulated restaurant environment. There will also be an enhanced level of care for patients who have dementia, aphasia, or autism, giving them a realistic space to address speech-language goals during everyday routines.

INDOOR TAMIKA CATCHINGS

INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND

Inclusive playgrounds give children – regardless of their challenges – the crucial opportunity to learn through play and impart to them and their families a sense of belonging. The Tamika Catchings Inclusive Playground is specially designed

to meet the therapeutic needs of the children we serve in our speech and hearing clinics. For example, some equipment will accommodate a wheelchair or allow children with lower limb mobility challenges to access activities involving their upper body. Children who have sensory challenges will be able to access quiet spaces like a tunnel or tent, and the space (shown in picture) will include turn-taking and make-believe activities designed to encourage interactive play and communication.

FEEDING, SWALLOWING, AND VOICE SUITE

Clinical faculty with expertise in feeding, swallowing, and voice disorders will treat patients and educate students in this innovative suite of rooms. The pediatric feeding room will have a kitchenette, comfortable rocking chair, and ottoman to put our littlest clients and their guardians at ease during diagnosis and treatment. The swallowing space will include a table, chairs, and a video monitor to facilitate access to patients of all ages for fiberoptic endoscopic evaluations and viewing. The voice room will be furnished with a reclining exam chair, mobile treatment cart, video monitor, and stroboscopy unit. All three spaces will be steps away from the infection control room.

WELCOME CENTER FOR VISITORS AND ALUMNI

This space will be the focal point of the department, receiving all non-clinical guests daily. The large lobby will include tables, chairs, resources for visitors, and an information office staffed by the department’s primary administrative specialist. We hope this welcoming space will encourage our friends, old and new, to relax and stay a little longer.

LARGE LECTURE HALL

A classroom seating 124 students will allow faculty to teach our large, undergraduate courses on site. Three interactive monitors will be mounted on the presentation wall. Cameras and speakers will be strategically placed for audio- and video-capture of the instructor and students when courses

are recorded or broadcasted. An assistive listening system will support in-class audio for all students, with special access for those with hearing impairment. Tables will include charging ports and plenty of room for devices and notetaking during class. When needed, the classroom may be converted into a large reception space for the department.

STUDENT STUDY LOUNGE

In addition to the student lounge and computer rooms already established in the basement, more space dedicated to our students is being added to the first floor. This large study lounge will be appointed with marker boards, tables of various heights, chairs, sofas, laptop tables, and, of course, lots of power towers for device charging. Additionally, there will be two enclosed study rooms, each with a large table, chairs, whiteboard, and wall-mounted monitor to encourage group learning.

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

As the Pediatric Language Clinic (PLC) team begins to pack boxes and readies themselves for a move into the UT Conference Center in August, we recently visited with a previous PLC patient, Mark Bennett, who shared about the impact PLC had on his life. Bennett, who graduated with a master’s degree in information science from UT, shared that “Dr. Sol Adler was a hero to me. He knew that children with autism, like me, could be successful.” Here, Bennett, the historian for Blount County, is shown in one of the soon-to-be PLC spaces with PLC Coordinator, Lydia Barry.

HONORS, AWARDS, AND GRANTS

WOMEN’S ALLIANCE GRANT SUPPORTS SCHOOL HEARING SCREENINGS

School hearing screenings have been a part of ASP’s outreach efforts for many years. Recently, requests for support increased. To meet the demand, Emily Noss, Allison Wegman, and Julie Beeler received a 2023 UT Alliance of Women Philanthropists Giving Circle grant to fund additional portable audiometers and supplies. Since then, we have conducted over 2,100 screenings in new counties, including Sevier, Anderson, Clinton City, and Oak Ridge. Students have received valuable training on evidenced-based hearing screening protocols and acquired interprofessional experience while working alongside school nurses and other school personnel. We are grateful to the Alliance for supporting our goal to support more schools in the East Tennessee region.

AWARD-WINNING PROFESSORS

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. –William Arthur Ward

In 2023, three ASP professors received teaching awards. In May, Dr. James Lewis received the UT Health Science Center Excellence in Teaching Award, in recognition and appreciation of outstanding teaching and genuine concern for students, from the UT Health Science Center Student Government Association Executive Council. A month later, at the UT Alumni Board of Governer’s Dinner, Dr. Patrick Plyler was named as a Distinguished Service Professor and Dr. Mark Hedrick received an Outstanding Teacher Award. Each is a well-deserved honor!

LARGE TRAINING GRANT AWARDED –PROJECT PAL

In September, Drs. Ilsa Schwarz, Erinn Finke, and Jillian McCarthy, along with colleagues in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at Vanderbilt University (VU), received a five-year, $2,399,454 doctoral level training grant from the Office of Special Education Programming (OSEP). The project, “Preparing Academic Leaders in Speech-Language Pathology to Teach, Conduct Research, and Engage in Professional Service to Improve Outcomes for Children with High Need Communication Disorders” (Project PAL), will train six doctoral level speech-language pathology leaders across the two UT Health Science Center campuses; specifically, three scholars at UT Health Science Center and three scholars at VU.

Dr. Schwarz, professor emeritus and the principal investigator, shared, “The primary goal of this project is to equip these future faculty members with specialized training that will enable them to teach, conduct research, and provide culturally and linguistically responsive services to enhance the language and literacy outcomes for children with high-need communication disorders. Children with these disorders encompass a wide range of low- and highincidence disabilities, emphasizing the need for high-quality and high-intensity language and literacy assessments and interventions to facilitate social and academic progress.”

The three scholars at UT Health Science Center will begin their studies in the department in August 2024.

Drs. Jillian McCarthy, Ilsa Schwarz, and Erinn Finke

FINKE RECOGNIZED AS ASHA FELLOW

In November, Dr. Erinn H. Finke was recognized and awarded the title of Fellow by the American-SpeechLanguage-Hearing (ASHA) Association at the 2023 ASHA Convention Awards Ceremony in Boston. The prestigious Fellowship of the Association award is one of the highest honors ASHA bestows on individuals. Awardees are those recognized for their outstanding professional and scientific achievements in speech, language, and/ or audiology. Dr. Finke was recognized for academic teaching, research, and service to the ASHA organization. One nominator stated, “Dr. Finke has an outstanding body of work [which has] discovered a new clinical approach for informing optimal ways to support relationship development in those with autism ranging from school-age to young adults.” We are immensely proud to have Dr. Finke as a valued member of our team and congratulate her on this well-deserved achievement. We look forward to her continued contributions to the advancement of communication sciences and disorders.

STUDENTS ARE SHINING STARS

Travel Award: Cailin Hannon, 4th year AuD student, received a 2023 Mentored Student Research Presentation Travel Award from the National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to present at the American Auditory Society Annual Meeting in Arizona. As one of only 20 students to receive the award nationwide, Cailin presented, “Do Eardrum Electrodes Affect Sound Transmission in the Ear?” Her research mentor is Dr. James Lewis.

CHANGEMAKER AWARDS

At this year’s ASHA Conference, ASP had two presenter groups that were given the 2023 Changemaker Award. Congratulations, all!

“Speech-Language and Listening Intervention for Pediatric Cochlear Implant Users with Single-Sided Deafness” – in-person seminar

Authors: Ashley Irick, Autumn Sanderson, Emily Noss, and Marilyn Owens

“Hope and Tinnitus Disturbance” – virtual poster

Authors: Drs. Brittany Grayless, Mark Hedrick, and Jennifer Hausladen

Outstanding Student: Tanzida Zaman, PhD student, received the Most Outstanding Student award at the UT Health Science Center’s Graduate Research Day. For this special recognition, she was asked to give a platform presentation entitled, “The Neural Correlates of Processing Noun Phrases in Audio and Visual Modality: An EEG Study.” Her research mentor is Dr. Devin Casenhiser.

THE GROUP IMPACT

STUDENT Q&A

HOW DID YOUR PARTICIPATION IN A GROUP EXPERIENCE GIVE YOU NEW PERSPECTIVES ABOUT SUPPORTING PATIENTS WITH COMMUNICATION DISORDERS?

Keeley Winn, 4th Year AuD student

“As a student, I hadn’t had chance to witness patients discussing their own personal challenges with others who have gone through similar experiences. It can feel isolating when a person is navigating something like hearing loss and speaking with others who have overcome so many obstacles can be inspiring. Helping to facilitate these discussions was transformative for me. One day, I hope to again be a part of a course like Living Well with Hearing Loss!”

CHANGING PERSPECTIVE

Chloe Rose, 2nd Year MS-SLP student

“My involvement in the laryngectomy support group taught me the importance of creating a space for individuals to share their experiences and build connections. Interacting with the members has furthered my knowledge about the laryngectomy community and how to better support and treat them.”

Emma Roeser, 3rd Year MS-SLP student

“I don’t think there’s anything that compares to hearing the unfiltered, real-life, raw experiences that are shared during the groups by those living with aphasia and their loved ones. Before being a part of the group, I never imagined what people faced in their everyday lives. No doubt, this experience has given me new ideas about how to improve the quality of life for my patients.”

TRANSITIONING FROM GROUP MEMBER TO LEADER

We asked Eddie Brown, a PhD student in our department, to share his personal experience with the Knoxville Chapter of the National Stuttering Association, a support group with its foundations at ASP.

"I joined my first stuttering support group when I was 14 years old. I'd never had a conversation with another person who stutters, so the experience was pretty transformative and pivotal in relationship to stuttering. In these meetings, I saw people from all backgrounds come together to open up about being a person who stutters. I also witnessed speech-language pathologists from across the community coming to our meetings to do one simple thing, listen. When asked, they shared that they did not know a lot about stuttering (some hadn't even received courses in stuttering), and they had clients that they wanted to serve better. This collaboration has stuck with me and continues in practice as I take a new role in stuttering support group meetings.

As I became chapter leader of the Knoxville Chapter of the National Stuttering Association, it was important to me to advertise the support group in the community and department. Many of our graduate student clinicians work closely with Tricia Hedinger, who provides exceptional therapy to her patients, while effectively modeling how to develop the unique clinician-patient relationship found in stuttering therapy. Clients who stutter are informed about the local support group and some attend regularly. Students are also invited to attend the support group to gain more insight on the journey navigated by a person who stutters. Access to the group affords students the opportunity to take an "out of the box" perspective as they support their patients."

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

ASP now offers more group opportunities than ever. Participation is on the uptick, both from our patients and those within the general community. Members are reporting the benefits of meeting with others, oftentimes giving them renewed strength to cope with a particular diagnosis or tackle the challenges presented each day. Our students engage in unique ways with individuals who have a variety of communication disorders and their loved ones.

ADULT COMMUNICATION CLASSES

Steffanie Barber’s communication classes for adults with neurogenic communication disorders have become quite popular. In fact, enrollment has quadrupled in size since 2021. For a small fee, the classes (shown) serve as a community resource to individuals with aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia of speech, and cognitivecommunication disorders resulting mostly from stroke and

traumatic brain injury. For more information about joining a class or possible scholarships, please contact Steffanie at sbarbe16@uthsc.edu.

KNOXVILLE LARYNGECTOMY CLUB

The Knoxville Laryngectomy Club is a group established to support the needs of people who have undergone a total laryngectomy. This group meets monthly to provide resources, support, and social time for patients, caregivers, and families. All types of alaryngeal voice are represented at the meetings, and discussion topics include tips and tricks for communication, eating, and resuming life following a diagnosis of head and neck cancer. Membership is free, and meetings are open to the community on a drop-in basis. Meetings are usually held on the third Wednesday of each month, and we are always looking for new participants. For more information, please contact Kim Almand at kalmand@uthsc.edu.

“I want people to understand how far we have come, and how grateful I am for the resources that have been provided to us in this class – so generously, and so brilliantly, and so compassionately.”

– Eileen, spouse of Jerry, communication class participant

DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

Recognizing Donors: This fall, ASP installed an eye-catching donor wall. It recognizes donors who support scholarships, capital projects, bequests, and annual support. Located just outside of the audiology clinic entrance, the display also has background photos representing the many facets of ASP. Each year, the wall will reflect updated donor names. If you are in the area, please stop by so we can show it to you!

Alumni Gatherings: In 2023, the ASP family hosted a few alumni events, including one at the ASHA Convention where we honored Dr. Erinn Finke for being named ASHA Fellow. It was a fantastic night of reminiscing and catching up!

Giving Opportunities: Student scholarships continue to be a focus of fundraising, including a new fund for PhD students that supports research, conferences, and travel. If you have any questions or would like to discuss any form of giving, please contact Amanda Armstrong at 865.335.8428 or via email at aarmst36@uthsc.edu.

FAMILY WEEKEND AND ALUMNI HOMECOMING

The first weekend in November was the perfect backdrop for ASP’s Family Weekend and Alumni Homecoming. Students spent Friday afternoon taking their family and friends on tours of our clinics, classrooms, and research labs at the UT Conference Center. One parent shared, “The pride of the program was reflected in the enthusiasm of the staff as they explained and demonstrated the labs and clinics. The attention we were given genuinely made us feel welcome.” Later Friday evening, we hosted a dessert reception at the beautiful Crescent Bend House and Gardens, a favorite venue which was made possible by the Tom’s Foundation. We wrapped up the weekend with a lively breakfast tailgate prior to the homecoming football game. It was yet another opportunity for students and alumni, including the audiology class of 1994 (photo on left), to show their school spirit!

REMEMBERING JACK AND JUDY FERRELL

C. Jack Ferrell, MA, CCC-A, Associate Professor Emeritus, 1941-2023

On June 22, 2023, we lost another dear friend, clinician, teacher, and leader of the department. Jack, as most of us knew him, was a professor of audiology from 1967–2002. During his 33 years of service to UT, he was the clinical director in audiology from 1985-2002, co-authored professional articles, and presented at state and national conferences mostly related to hearing conservation and audiology education. Jack received numerous awards, including TAASLP’s Honours Award, Audiologist of the Year in 1999 from the Southern Audiology Society, Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology, and the Tom Davidson Memorial Award. In addition to his professional accomplishments, Jack cared deeply about his students and colleagues, both while they were at UT and after they matriculated. The long-standing reputation of our department as “one big family” is in large part thanks to Jack’s heart. When asked to reflect on Jack’s legacy, one alumnus, colleague, and friend immediately answered that his “calm and steady leadership” paved the way for the development of hundreds of future audiologists, scientists, and educators.

Judy Y. Ferrell, MA, CCC-A, 1945-2023

The love of Jack’s life, his wife, Judy, followed him in death within a few months. In addition to being Jack’s “better half,” Judy worked as an audiologist in several medical offices and served as an off-campus clinical supervisor for many UT audiology students. She was a big supporter of our department and is greatly missed.

Donations in Jack and/or Judy’s memory may be made to the UT Foundation, Audiology & Speech Pathology, 600 Henley Street, Suite 119, Knoxville, TN, 37902.

HERE AND BEYOND

GREAT STRIDES MADE IN IRELAND

In October, Tricia Hedinger joined representatives of the World Stuttering Network, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Therapy Abroad, and the American University of Health Sciences School of Medicine to advocate for children with speech-language needs in Ireland. As a team, they met with the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Cork City Council, faculty from multiple universities, and members of the Irish community. After a presentation to Irish parliament, a bill was brought forward to provide greater funding and resources for the 14,000 children on waiting lists for speech-

BEING BILINGUAL IN CLINICAL PRACTICE

Moncerrat Bravo Alvarez, a 1st year AuD student whose parents are from Mexico, grew up speaking Spanish and English.

How do you anticipate using your bilingual skill set in clinical practice?

My hope is to ease the experience of going to see an audiologist for those who don’t speak English as their first language. Taking your child to the doctor can be nerve-wracking and adding a language barrier into the mix can be stressful for the parent and child. I’m grateful to have already been a part of multiple appointments where I’ve been able to speak to families in Spanish. Parents smile and almost let out a little breath of relief when they know they can properly communicate with the provider. It is such an honor and a privilege to be supporting this community.

language services, which marks significant advances for early intervention services in the country.

Sneak Peek – Ireland, Part 2 in 2024

ASP’s efforts in Ireland will continue this May when Tricia and Allison Wegman will be taking 13 graduate and undergraduate students for a study abroad trip. Students will have the opportunity to practice leadership and professional advocacy skills during a 10-day cultural immersion adventure.

LEAVING

AN IMPRESSION IN FRANCE

Tanzida Zaman, PhD student, recently presented at the 15th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Neurobiology of Language in Marseille, France. Her poster was on the neural correlates of processing grammar during reading and listening to English noun phrases. Tanzida shared, “Excitingly, I was also a volunteer [at the conference], and that was literally a Tennessee Vol everywhere moment for me! I am very much grateful to my department for funding my conference trip and, in addition, I am very much grateful to the UT Health Science Center College of Graduate Health Sciences for giving me the travel award for this conference.”

SUPPORTING PHARMACIES ACROSS THE STATE

ASP and the UT Health Science Center College of Pharmacy (COP) want to ensure that Tennessee pharmacies and their consumers are educated about overthe-counter (OTC) hearing devices and can find support when needed. Toward this goal, Dr. Beth Humphrey conducted a 3-part course the UT Health Science Center COP Fall Therapeutics Webinar called, “OTC Hearing Aids: What Pharmacists Need to Know,” reaching approximately

ELANGOVAN EXCITED ABOUT NEW CAMPUS RELATIONSHIPS

Fall semester always brings many new faces to our program. In August, one of the newcomers was Dr. Saravanan Elangovan, who joined us as clinical professor and director of clinical education in audiology. Fondly known as Dr. “Sara”, Elangovan hit the ground running. Already, he is playing an integral role in supporting ASP’s goal of fostering new relationships across the university. These partnerships are being made with the intent to expand interprofessional practice, research, and educational opportunities, one being with our colleagues in social work. He notes, “A partnership with UTK College of Social Work presents an amazing opportunity to provide high quality collaborative health care for individuals in our community while also serving as an excellent training model for students of both professions.”

225 pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. In addition, the group of Knoxville campus collaborators, consisting of Humphrey, Dr. Patrick Plyler, Julie Beeler and (from COP) Drs. James Wheeler and Kelsey Frederick, launched a project that explores pharmacists’ perceptions of OTC devices and the reality of having the devices in their pharmacies. ASP and COP will be sharing this cutting-edge data soon.

UT President Randy Boyd, UT Health Science Center Chancellor Peter Buckley, and Tennessee Higher Education Commission Executive Director Steven Gentile toured ASP’s laboratory and clinical spaces. Faculty and students highlighted collaborative research and interprofessional work afforded by expansion into our new facility.

LOOKING BACK

For many years, ASP has hosted two annual memorial conferences, attracting alumni and other professionals from across the south. The 25th Sol Adler Conference brought Emily Rubin, Director of Communication Crossroads in Atlanta, who presented, "Creating Learning Environments for Autistic Children; Using the SCERTS Framework to Enhance Active Engagement."

In attendance was Tom’s wife, Ms. Vicki Wiman, who is shown with Hannah Maner, the recipient of the 2023 Tom Davidson Scholarship. To date, there have been 30 scholarships offered to AuD students in memory of Tom.

The 11th Tom Davidson Memorial Conference featured Dr. Matt Fitzgerald from Stanford University who presented, “Using Speech in Noise to Probe Auditory Function in the Routine Audiogram.”

Our Beginner’s BBQ Bash at UT Gardens was the perfect way to kick off the academic year with new and returning graduate students, faculty, staff, and loved ones.

The National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA) SLP Career Fair, held at the Conference Center, featured SLP agencies, school systems, and clinics from across the state who came to engage with our highly sought-after students.

The 2023 Volunteer Your Voice Summer Camp was a memory maker! The camp, designed for children who have speech-language and/or hearing challenges, is a fully immersive experience for ASP’s graduate students who are supporting and advancing the children’s communication needs throughout the week.

NSSLHA volunteers handed out 400 pairs of earplugs at UTK’s Volapalooza. The earplugs were provided by the Dave Lipscomb Hearing Conservation Fund and are marked with the message “Pause, Protect, Play” to remind everyone that it’s cool to have fun in noise, just do it safely.

LOOKING BACK (CONTINUED)

In October, for Student Appreciation Day, graduate students took a quick break to grab a sweet treat and pick up some cool swag, courtesy of the UT Health Science Center.

We continue to enjoy a fulfilling partnership with the Knoxville Downtown Sertoma Club. In September, we joined forces to raise awareness about hearing loss across the lifespan at the Celebrate Sound Walk.

A short time later, several of our graduate students volunteered with all aspects of their Oktoberfest event. We even had a couple who stole the show by leading the event's traditional chicken dance!

Dr. Jen Hausladen and several AuD students visited the Free Medical Clinic in Oak Ridge, conducting hearing screens on community members who do not have health insurance. This outreach effort will expand in 2024, as her team will fit amplification with support from the Sertoma Hearing Charities.

Third Year AuD students presented the findings from their capstone projects at our 2023 AuD Research Day. Their presentations capture over a year’s worth of intensive, faculty-mentored work learning about the research process, selecting a topic of interest, writing an IRB, collecting data, and reporting findings that have clinical relevance.

Olivia Hecker, PhD student, regularly takes several MSSLP students to the Faith-N-Friends farm for Reading with the Rescues, a fun-filled, literacy-based event for children with speech-language challenges. Providers work across disciplines to ensure that each child gets to engage with horses in developmentally appropriate ways, using a variety of communication strategies.

The PLC team and students got decked out in their best costumes and hosted a Trunk-or-Treat event, catered specifically to little ones enrolled in services with Tennessee Early Intervention System.
