Heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Ji Young Na who graduated August, 2015.
The PSU AAC Community is pleased to celebrate that Dr. Na has completed her doctoral studies in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Dr. Na has brought research and attention to critical areas of AAC design; specifically, representation that is appropriately sensitive to multicultural and emotional complexity, and how these insights can be effectively integrated into evidence-based interventions with children and families. We are incredibly excited to see her work continue to evolve and impact the field.
