Doctoral Students
Anne Reed
Anne is a doctoral student and comes to us with valuable experience working in public schools as well as with students with dyslexia. Her research interests include speech sound disorder therapy dosage and intensity on progress, type of reading instruction and its impact on future special education referrals, and state stakeholder (e.g., DOE, legislators) awareness of new speech sound development data and the subsequent impact on SPED eligibility. Anne is currently working on a single case experimental design study, using practice-based coaching to help speech-language pathology assistants and paraeducators use shared book reading techniques. Her favorite children’s book is “Little Owl’s Night” by Divya Srinivasan.
Mary Allison Moody
Mary Allison is a Ph.D. student and Legacy Fellow in the School of Communication Science Disorders, studying under Dr. Kelly Farquharson’s direction. She graduated from Valdosta State University (VSU) in 2022 and 2020 with an M.Ed. and a B.S.Ed. in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD), respectively. Mary Allison was a CSD graduate research assistant overseeing the Scottish-Rite Literacy Enhancement Project, which identified kindergarteners at risk for dyslexia in a large public school system. She also gained valuable leadership experience as the Georgia Student State Officer (SSO) for the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (NSSLHA). Mary Allison’s research interests include the comorbidity of speech sound disorders (SSD) and literacy impairments, the comprehensive assessment of SSDs, early identification and intervention procedures related to dyslexia in public schools, and the SLP’s role in school-based reading initiatives. Her teaching interests include clinical phonetics and childhood speech sound disorders.
