Dr Alice Lee is a speech and language therapist and Senior Lecturer in Speech and Hearing Sciences at UCC. Her research interest and expertise include perceptual and instrumental investigations (e.g. electropalatography, acoustic analysis, ultrasound) of speech disorders (in particular, problems with resonance, articulation, prosody) in individuals with structural deficits (e.g. cleft palate) and neurological impairment (e.g. motor speech disorder); listener training for perceptual judgements of speech disorders; Cochrane Systematic Review; and impact of assistance dog on social interaction in children with autism. In terms of teaching and learning, she is interested in Visual Thinking Strategies; and teaching and assessing auditory-perceptual judgements of speech disorders. Alice is a steering group member of DELAD (Database Enterprise for Language And speech Disorders: http://delad.net/); and a member of The Child Speech Disorder Research Network (UK and Ireland), and The Cochrane Collaboration.
