About Eric W. Reid, PhD

Eric W. Reid, Assistant Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders at ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Music and a Master of Science Degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. Professor Reid teaches in ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ’s School of Allied Health for their speech pathology program. Courses taught include Phonetic Transcription, Language Analysis, Instrumentation I&II, Bilingualism and Biculturalism, and ESL/Accent Modification. Clinical emphases include accent modification and remediation of school-age articulation and phonological disorders.

Research interests include instrumental analysis of speech-sound production (physiological and acoustic), speech-sound perception, and phonological patterns generated by L1-L2 interaction. Current research focuses on physiological patterns of consonantal and vocalic ‘r’ production and the influence of coarticulation on ‘r’ placement/timing. Data are expected to apply to current (errant?) trends in ‘r’ remediation and to inform future research in the therapeutic use of facilitating contexts.
