Dr. Wolter’ s past and current roles as a speech-language pathologist and consultant in the schools fuels her interests in evidence-based practice and interdisciplinary collaboration specifically focused on responsiveness to intervention tiered practices. Dr. Wolter has authored several clinical and research papers which she has presented at state, national, and international levels and has published in a variety of venues such as peer-reviewed journals and edited books. She recently directed the development of teacher training modules for the Utah State Office of Education focused on links between spoken and written language, and evidence-based classroom language facilitation practices in the classroom. Dr. Wolter’s teaching and research interests are in the areas of preschool and school-age language and literacy development. She is currently conducting research to examine the linguistic components of morphological awareness, orthographic processing, and phonological awareness as they relate to early identification and treatment of children’s language and literacy impairments (see Current Projects).
