Interests

Dana joined the Department of Communicative Disorders as a clinical instructor in 1997.  She spent the first 18 years of her career working as a speech-language pathologist in medical and rehabilitation settings with a focus on adult acquired communication, cognition and swallowing disorders. 


As part of her clinical responsibilities, Dana, supervises graduate students at UW Speech and Hearing Clinic, primarily serving adults with acquired disorders of communication related to stroke, traumatic brain injury, and progressive neurologic diseases.  Her approach to intervention involves functionally relevant therapy objectives, maximizing multimodality communication, group treatment, and providing services in the most appropriate  setting, whether it be in the clinic, in the community, or in the home.  Other clinical populations of special interest to Dana are clients interested in feminization of their communication skills and young adults diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome with challenges in social communication.
In addition to clinical teaching, Dana , provides guest lectures in the areas of swallowing disorders, feminization of communication skills , and the speech-language pathologist’s role with the tracheotomy and ventilator dependent person.
