UAD presentations at ASHA

UAD Co-Directors, Drs. Troche and Hegland, along with fellow SLHS alum Dr. Teresa Pitts, gave an hour-long seminar at the annual conference of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association.  The seminar covered the topic of Airway Protection, focusing on cough production, evaluation, and treatment.  With several hundred attendees, the seminar was a huge success and highlighted the outstanding basic and clinical science coming out of the UAD and our UF SLHS department.

Also, Dr. K.
