Dana Kovarsky, Ph.D., CCC-SLP
Associate Professor

Dr. Dana Kovarsky received his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in Communicative Sciences and Disorders. At the University of Rhode Island, he has taught courses in child language development and disorders, communication processes, cultural and linguistic diversity, and qualitative research methods.

As an ethnographer of communication disorders, his research has focused on the clinical discourse practices of professionals working in a variety of assessment and intervention contexts. He has received federal funding for a model demonstration project that evaluates the effectiveness of an instructional approach designed to meet the language and emergent literacy needs of preschoolers involved in Head Start.
