New research sheds light on how cognitive and linguistic skills shape the relationship and potential overlap between Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), dyslexia, and ADHD. These findings highlight the need to evaluate specific cognitive-linguistic abilities (like phonological and working memory) when evaluating how language and attention difficulties affect reading.

It's peak fall season at UWSHC! We have been busy with some very fun events! Last week, we hosted our annual Spooky Storytime Friends Event with record turn out! Everyone had a great time listening to a spooky story, doing some crafts, and, of course, enjoying some treats. We even had a Halloween dance party!

This week, as is tradition, our 2nd-year AuD students dressed in Audiology Themed Costumes. They are tests or questionnaires, used by audiologists. Can you guess what they are?

The Institute on Aging at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is dedicated to advancing knowledge and promoting the health and well-being of individuals as they age. Through research, education, and community engagement, the Institute brings together experts and organizations to support healthy aging across the lifespan.

As part of this year’s event, UW- Madison Audiology students hosted an outreach table offering otoscopic screenings and sharing information about hearing health and the audiological services available through the UW Speech & Hearing Clinic.

Last week, the UW Speech and Hearing Clinic audiology team partnered with the Center for Special Children at Vernon Health in La Farge to provide hearing care for children and adults from the Plain and local communities.

First- and second-year Doctor of Audiology (AuD) students, supervised by audiologists Dr. Rachel Lee, Dr. Margaret Koeritzer, and Dr. Melanie Buhr-Lawler, provided hearing evaluations and diagnoses for individuals of all ages, helping make hearing healthcare more accessible to families who may otherwise face barriers to care.

The Center for Special Children is one of only six clinics in the nation dedicated to serving special children, primarily within the Amish and Mennonite communities, through genetic testing and treatment for rare conditions. The program’s goal is to help families affected by complex medical needs access affordable healthcare, while building an expansive catalog of diseases to improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.

We are proud to collaborate with Vernon Health in supporting this mission of compassionate, community-centered care. ❤👂

Our UWSHC adult AAC group members had the opportunity to learn about safety and the job of a police officer. Thank you, Captain Czarnecki from Port Washington Police Department for taking time out of your busy day to join us! The clients asked Captain Czarnecki some very important questions including what they need to communicate using their AAC devices if they need to call 911.

UW Audiology was excited to return to the Silent Set Match with UW Volleyball and Chasing Greatness — an inspiring evening celebrating inclusion, accessibility, and hearing health awareness.

During the match, Doctor of Audiology graduate students engaged with fans to share information about hearing protection and hearing loss prevention, while distributing earplugs to promote safe listening. The energy in the arena was electric as thousands of fans joined together in silence — a powerful reminder of the importance of connection beyond sound.

We’re grateful to UW Athletics, Wisconsin Volleyball, and Chasing Greatness for continuing this incredible partnership and for their commitment to raising awareness for the d/Deaf and hard of hearing community.

Special thanks to Au.D. students Melanie Wiegmann, Alexis Jentz, Kat Fetter, Grace Brickl, and clinical associate professor, Dr. Rachel Lee for representing UW Audiology at this year's event.
