Research addresses language development, language use, and cognitive processes related to language using acoustic phonetic analysis, computational psycholinguistics, (real-time) bio-feedback and wearable technology, automatic speech recognition (ASR) and automatic speech processing (ASP), complex statistical modeling, and behavioral measures. Recent projects have explored the application of wearable computer technology, automatic speech recognition (ASR), tele-health administration of standardized tests, and rehabilitation techniques. We have worked on issues within populations of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (D\/HH) who wear hearing aids and cochlear implants, adults with Parkinson&#8217;s disease, and adults and children without deficit.\u00a0 We are part of a larger collaborative working on Babble Boot Camp, a prospective therapeutic intervention for children&#8217;s language development.\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/labs.wsu.edu\/vandam\/resources\/babble-boot-camp\/\">Here is a growing repository<\/a><\/strong> of published work on this topic.<\/p>\n<p>The lab hosts regular undergraduate and graduate student researchers and is affiliated with the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/spokanehopeschool.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HOPE School of Spokane<\/a><\/strong>, a preschool for children with hearing loss, and the university Hearing &amp; Speech Clinic.
