Doctoral Students who have worked in the lab

	Sandy Abu El Adas, Doctoral Student  Sandy is a PhD student in the Communicative Sciences and Disorders department. Her research concentrates on the effects of lexical-semantic information, phonological information, and reading ability on talker processing. Sandy is currently doing her lab rotation with Tara McAllister at the Biofeedback Intervention Technology for Speech Lab where she examines the variability of token-to-token productions in bilingual children acquiring Jamaican-Creole and English. Prior to NYU, Sandy obtained an MA in Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University of Delaware and a BA in Communication sciences and disorders from Ono Academic College. She is a licensed SLP in Israel, with experience treating Arabic and Hebrew speaking children with developmental delays and disorders.
	Heather (Campbell) Kabakoff, Doctoral Student (2016-) Heather is a Doctoral student and ASHA certified speech-language pathologist with a bilingual extension in Spanish. She is working in Tara McAllister’s Biofeedback Intervention Technology for Speech (BITS) Lab, where she is primarily interested in incorporating such technologies as acoustic and ultrasound biofeedback into intervention for speech sound disorders. Heather completed her second qualifying paper with Dr. Levi. The project explored perceptual training of a non-native vowel contrast with the aim of informing best practices for training speech perception. A future topic of research will involve  whether perceptual and somatosensory acuity can serve as predictors of response to ultrasound biofeedback treatment.
