  mentoring_philosophy: "The CLaSS lab is a safe space for all students.  We are particularly interested in supporting first generation college students, or students who have not had any experience with research.  Of course, that experience may be helpful - but we want to create opportunities that suit your interests and needs. We believe in work/ life balance. We celebrate ALL.THE.THINGS (and we love a good pizza party).  We don't view student's on different hierarchical levels (undergrad, master's, PhD, postdoc), but we DO offer leadership opportunities for students who want to engage more in that skillset. We all make mistakes and we all learn from them. You are welcome in the CLaSS Lab!"

  overall_research_project_description: |-
    APPLES is a 4-year project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders (NIDCD).  The 2025-26 academic year will mark year 2 of 4. This project takes place in the Children's Literacy and Speech Sound (CLaSS) Lab, which is in room 512 of the Warren building.  The Warren building is an FSU building, but is technically considered off campus, so it does help to have a car. We have free and ample parking available. Largely, you will make your own schedule and share it with us using a shared Google calendar. We are constrained by the hours that the Warren building is open (8:30 - 4:30 Monday - Thursday and 8:30 am - 1:30 pm on Fridays). Students must begin work during a time that the building is open, but can stay in the building once it's closed. 

    For APPLES, we are working with school-based speech-language pathologists and several children from their caseload who have speech sound disorders (SSDs).  SSDs are marked by difficulty making certain speech sounds (like /w/ instead of "r", lisps, etc).  SSDs can impact reading and spelling.  We are testing 100 children per year on a battery of speech, language, reading, spelling, working memory, and speech perception meaures. We have a team of assessors who go to the schools to directly test children (Kindergarten, first, and second grade).  The UROP students have the opportunity to work in the lab on scoring and processing those data, after they have been collected.  UROP students will not be expected to test kids in schools.
