About the Speakers
Trina D. Spencer, PhD, BCBA-D
Dr. Spencer is a senior scientist and director of the Juniper Gardens Children’s Project at University of Kansas and holds faculty appointments in the Departments of Applied Behavioral Sciences, Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, and Special Education.
Drawing from speech-language pathology, applied linguistics, education, and behavior analysis, she concentrates her efforts on the oral academic language that serves as a foundation to the reading and writing of preK to 3 rd grade students, with and without disabilities. She maintains a spirited research agenda that has yielded 73 peer review publications, 161 invited presentations, $15M in external funding, and several commercialized curricula, interventions, professional development systems, and assessment tools. Her multi-tiered interventions and assessment tools are used broadly in the United States, but also internationally. Dr. Spencer values researcher-practitioner partnerships, community engagement, and cross disciplinary collaborations to accomplish high-impact and innovative applied research.
Douglas B. Petersen, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-CL
Douglas Petersen is a professor, the Maggie and Dick Scarlett Chair in Speech-Language Pathology, and the director of the Dynamic Language and Learning Lab at the University of Wyoming. Dr. Petersen conducts research across the world on
language and literacy. Specifically, Dr. Petersen researches the measurement of language and reading learning-potential in school-age students, focusing on the development and validation of dynamic assessments and curriculum-based universal
screening and progress monitoring assessments that mitigate cultural, linguistic, and environmental bias. He also examines the extent to which data-driven, multi-tiered contextualized language intervention leads to meaningful language and literacy
outcomes. His co-authored multi-tiered, systematic and explicit language program and language and literacy assessments are some of the most widely used tools for structured literacy across the world.
