Week@MyAV·¶ - spotlight on Abi Roper, Speech and Language Therapist Researcher, at the Deafness Cognition and Language (DCAL) Research Centre
1 July 2016
The Week@MyAV·¶ speaks to Abi Roper, Speech and Language Therapist
Researcher, at DCAL.
Abi is a Research Assistant on the DCAL
On-line Assessment Portal project - a collaborative project involving researchers from MyAV·¶, and City,
University of London and software developers Cauldron.
Her role involves pulling
together information from lots of different assessments developed in previous
research projects at DCAL in order to translate them into a test that can be
delivered on-line. The assessments
include measures of speech reading ability, British Sign Language understanding
and clinical measures of cognition and dementia for Deaf adults.
Abi says "it’s a great
project for translational research because it opens up access to a wide variety
of DCAL’s work on Deafness, Cognition and Language to a broad national (and
international) audience of practitioners".Â
