Judith A. Gierut, Ph.D.
email: 
Judith A. Gierut is Professor of Speech and Hearing Sciences and Program in Cognitive Science at Indiana University, Bloomington. She is Principal Investigator and Director of the Learnability Project. Her research draws upon linguistic and psycholinguistic theories in the process of language acquisition by children with typical and atypical speech sound development. Her applied research interests are in extending these theories to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of children with functional phonological delays.
