ASHA 2018 here we come!

This morning our team learned that all of the abstracts we submitted for presentation at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) convention were accepted for presentation in Boston in November. Last year over 15,000 people attended the ASHA convention, and they receive thousands of abstract submissions each year, so it is a big deal to have papers accepted. Here is what we will be presenting:
