Tara McAllister, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Communicative Sciences and Disorders at New York University. She has published over 70 peer- reviewed papers spanning the disciplines of linguistics and speech-language pathology. Her research aims to understand how speech skills are acquired in both typical and clinical populations, and why developmental speech patterns resolve in some individuals but persist in others. She also directs the BITS (Biofeedback Intervention Technology for Speech) Lab at NYU, which develops and tests tools to provide visual biofeedback for persistent speech sound errors in children.
