David L. Jones, Ph.D., CCC-SLP

Professor Emeritus, Craniofacial Disorders & Speech Physiology

Ph.D., University of Iowa, 1987
M.A., University of Iowa, 1983
B.S., Westminster College (PA), 1980

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Research Interests:
Dr. Jones's primary research interests include the physiology of velopharyngeal function and velopharyngeal dysfunction and the production-perception of normal and disordered nasalization. These areas relate directly to speech outcomes of primary surgical management and secondary surgical and nonsurgical management of individuals with cleft palate. His expertise includes aerodynamic assessment of the velopharyngeal system and imaging of the velopharyngeal and laryngeal mechanisms.
