"Each year, ASHA’s PR group selects roughly ten presentations to highlight to media in a press release about its annual Convention. I thought your research 4629: Parent-Child Book Reading Impacts Academic Achievement in Grade 3 sounded very interesting and I’d like to potentially include it in our press release."The paper is written by Michelle Brown, Cen (Audrey) Wang, and myself as part of Michelle's postdoc on my CSU Senior Research Fellowship. There are over 3,000 presentations at the ASHA convention, so this is a huge honour! Here is the media release: https://www.asha.org/News/2019/ASHA-Annual-Convention-Will-Showcase-Latest-Research-Clinical-Advances-in-Communication-Sciences-and-Disorders/
