<\/a>Diehm<\/p><\/div>According to the association, this honor is intended to support young faculty members advance their academic and research careers in the field of communication sciences and disorders. The award is a formal mentorship program and also includes $5,000.<\/p>\n
The award not only focuses on research, but also funds proposals that include a teaching component.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy teaching portion of the application I wrote included a lot of discussion of a \u2018flipped classroom\u2019 as I\u2019d eventually like to provide my students with lots of hands-on opportunities while in graduate school to learn how to conduct assessments and develop practice intervention techniques,\u201d Diehm said.<\/p>\n
She began researching child language and literacy problems during her undergraduate studies in 2007 and became a speech-language pathologist in 2010. <\/p>\n
Along with child literacy problems, Diehm is researching the content and pedagogical knowledge that speech-language pathologists and teachers have with respect to dialectal variations.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of us speak a dialect. Linguistically, there is no single dialect that is better than the others,\u201d she explained. \u201cI want to make sure that teachers and speech-language pathologists are able to identify features of non-standard dialect use and provide culturally sensitive instruction.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a background in American Sign Language, Diehm became interested in the connection between language and literacy after she learned of low literacy rates among those who communicate through sign language.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe long-term goal of my research would be to better identify students who are likely at risk for literacy disorders and provide appropriate interventions that target their specific deficit areas before they even begin to struggle with reading and writing,\u201d Diehm said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
