The American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA) recognized Associate Athletic Training Professor Dr. Sarah Manspeaker, Associate Speech-Language-Pathology Professor Dr. Sarah Wallace and three students from the Rangos School of Health Sciences with a Meritorious Poster Award.
The national association recognized only 57 out of 1,500 poster submissions for the highly selective competition, which honors extraordinary, exceptional and innovative work.
The team’s proposal, Speech-Language Pathologist Perceptions of Interprofessional Collaborative Practices, received the highest ratings from ASHA’s topic committee reviewers across both submission categories of professional education and research.
Wallace and Manspeaker co-authored the submission with speech-language-pathology students Maryann Berdik and Nikki Purwin and athletic training student Lauren Foote. The submission also included contributions from collaborators at Florida State University and Ball State University.
