 Kleinert Wins DiCarlo Award

Jane O. Kleinert, Ph.D. has won the 2013 Louis M. DiCarlo Award for Recent Clinical Achievement from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation. The DiCarlo Award recognizes an individual's significant accomplishments in the advancement of clinical service in speech-language pathology and/or audiology. Each year one recipient is chosen from among individuals nominated by state speech-language-hearing associations. 

Kleinert was nominated for the development and implementation of the TAALC (Teaching Age-Appropriate Academic Learning via Communication) project, a state/federally funded SPDG grant (State Personnel Development Grant) in the commonwealth of Kentucky. The project began in 2009 and continues to the present. The primary purpose of the project is to ensure that all students with the most significant disabilities and complex communication needs have communication systems in place in order to participate in the academic curriculum in the public school setting. 

Kleinert will receive her award at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation Founders Breakfast at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s annual convention in November.

Dupont-Versteegden (Principal Investigator) will collaborate with Francisco Andrade, Ph.D. (Co-Investigator, College of Medicine) on the two-year project, entitled “Effect of satellite cell ablation on the aging diaphragm.” This project extends Dupont-Versteegden’s existing line of aging/muscle research by aiming to understand the aging diaphragm – a muscle that is constantly active for such behaviors as breathing, coughing, sneezing, and speaking. Dupont-Versteegden currently has another NIH funded project underway with Tim Butterfield, Ph.D., ATC investigating the effects of massage on muscle during aging.
