Kathryn V. Kreidler, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
Dr. Kathryn (Kate) Kreidler is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Arizona in the Communication Participation and Adaptive Listening Support (P.A.L.S.) lab directed by Dr. Meghan Darling-White. Dr. Kreidler completed her doctoral training in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas under the mentorship of Dr. Lisa Goffman. Her work at UT-Dallas centered on investigating hierarchically organized musical and linguistic prosodic skills in typically developing children and those with developmental language disorder (DLD).
At the University of Arizona, Dr. Kreidler will expand on her prior work through investigation of respiratory function and communicative participation in adolescents with and without disabilities. Dr. Kreidler’s methodological approaches include phonetic transcription, acoustic analysis, and motion tracking to characterize speech, language, and musical abilities. Her long-term research aim is to understand risk factors in developmental speech and language disorders across the lifespan.
