The Phonological Understanding Lab
UW Health Science Building, Room 429 - Dr. Breanna Krueger
The Phonological Understanding Lab is dedicated to improving treatment efficacy and efficiency for children with speech sound disorders as well as increasing our understanding of how typically developing children learn new sounds and words in terms of perception, processing, and production. The lab is equipped with three Dell PC computers equipped with dual monitors, phonetic transcription equipment, a Sonospeech Ultrasound system, a Whisperroom, and standardized assessments. Additionally, the lab houses three mobile lab kits that include Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablets, recording devices, and specialized equipment for treatment and psycholinguistic tests. Recordings are taken in a double walled sound attenuated booth.
Language and Interaction for Functional Engagement (LIFE) with Aphasia Lab
UW Health Science Building, Room 453 - Dr. Eleanor (Nora) Gulick
The LIFE with Aphasia Lab at the University of Wyoming is focused on supporting meaningful recovery for people living with aphasia. Our work is grounded in the Life Participation Approach to Aphasia, a consumer driven approach to rehabilitation. We have particularly focused on aphasia groups and conversation-based interventions. The lab is equipped with high-quality video and audio recording dquipment, analysis stations, a meeting table and chairs, a projector, testing and treatment materials, as well as stations to simulate home and community communication enviornments.
Communication Disorders Shared Lab
The Communication Disorders shared lab was designed so that lab teams can meet together for trainings and to hold teleconference meetings with collaborators from off-campus. This lab space includes a touch white board, a PC computer, a projector, microphone system, and a wall mounted camera.

Speech Electromyography, Acoustics, and Kinematics Lab
UW Health Science Building, Room 178/184 - Dr. Zoe Kriegel
The Speech Electromyography, Acoustics, and Kinematics Lab at the University of Wyoming is dedicated to understanding the relationships between speech sounds and movements for speakers with and without Parkinson disease. The lab is equipped with motion capture, surface electromyography, and high-quality acoustic recording equipment to examine the relationships between speech acoustics, kinematics, and muscle activity. These techniques allow us to inform clinical assessment and treatment procedures for individuals with acquired motor speech disorders.
Adolescent Language Interventions, Applications, & Strategies (ALIAS) Lab
UW Health Science Building, Room 429 - Dr. Amy Peterson
The Adolescent Language Interventions, Applications, and Strategies (ALIAS) Lab at the University of Wyoming is dedicated to supporting adolescents who have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and the professionals who serve them. The ALIAS Lab’s focus on Implementation Science explores the uptake, creation, and implementation of strategy interventions by SLPs serving older students and the impact of evidence-based practice on adolescent language performance and quality of life. The lab is equipped with four computers equipped with dual monitors, transcription equipment, standardized assessments, an interactive whiteboard, and six mobile lab kits that include Samsung tablets, recording devices, and specialized equipment for treatment and testing.
advancing communiation, connection, engagement, support, and science (ACCESS) Lab
UW Health Science Building, Room 258 - Dr. Tiffany Chavers Edgar
The Advancing Communication, Connection, Engagment, Support, and Science (ACCESS) Lab at the University of Wyoming is dedicated to improving communication outcomes and quality of life for children with developmental disabilities and their families. The ACCESS Lab studies multimodal communication, caregiver-child interactions, and the development and efvaluation of caregiver-mediated and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) interventions. our research seeks to identify effective, accessible aprpoaches for supporting communication deveelopment across everyday routines and environments. The lab is equipped with six student workstations, a range of AAC technologies and communication supports, and space for behavioral coding, intervention development, research meetings, and student training.
