Glenda Mason’s clinical experience in speech-language pathology (SLP) has spanned many years, primarily with preschool and school-aged children with a variety of communication disorders, their significant caregivers and teachers. This time has also included clinical education of SLP students. Her career highlights have been the shift to collaborative and client-centered approaches, and the strengthened focus on evidence-based practice.
Dr. Mason has served on a number of committees of the SLP professional associations, including provincial and national conference committees. Similarly, as her own children grew up, she was involved in various community agencies.
Her doctoral research program focused on phonology and specifically on school-aged children’s abilities to produce multisyllabic words and the relationship to literacy. A part of the project was the development of a metric for quantifying accuracy of multisyllabic word production. Computerized scoring and analysis methods and their application to other languages are currently being explored.
As Instructor, Developmental Communication Disorders, course teaching and collaborative activities include: a) expanding case-based learning opportunities; b) supporting UBC’s initiatives to blend face-to-face and online instruction; and c) facilitating the School’s objective to distribute classroom instruction to students residing outside metro Vancouver.
