For Immediate Release
Munoz Presents at African American and Latino Research Forum
CDIS graduate student Jasmine Munoz’s single-subject clinical study was accepted for presentation by the Illinois African American and Latino Higher Education Alliance (IALHEA). Munoz presented her study on April 24 at UIC Chicago at the African American and Latino Research Forum. The title of her project is “Treating a Phonological Disorder using the Native Language of a Bilingual Child.”
The IALHEA cross-disciplinary forum is designed to “showcase the scholarly work of African American and Latino students from Illinois colleges and universities.”
CDIS Department Chair William Yacullo explained, “All graduate students in our program are required to complete a single-subject clinical study with a client or clients in their regular practicum caseload. The purpose is to give students the opportunity to participate in clinical research, and to draw a real connection between research and clinical practice.”
He added, “We are very pleased that Jasmine will have the opportunity to present her clinical research at a cross disciplinary forum.”
