Our research

Current NSERC-funded research in the Voice and Resonance Lab focuses on oral-nasal balance in the speech of people with cleft palate. Another focus of our research is on ultrasound imaging of tongue movement of speakers with articulation disorders. We are particularly interested in speech disorders associated with cleft palate or tongue cancer.
