Doctor of Speech Language Pathology degree was conferred on August 31, 2014.  My graduation will occur in June, 2015!!  I am now Dr. Holly Harnly!

Graduation coming soon!

I've completed my dissertation and have passed the reviews for content and formatting.  Degree conferral is eminent! Wahoo!!!!

Its been a long time since I posted.   Since the last post I have had my concept paper accepted.  I'm currently in the Summer Semester of my Second Year.  I have just presented my proposal for the third time and am awaiting news if it will be passed on for IRB approval.  My questions have changed and I am now doing  a reduplication of Brandel and Loeb (2011) study on intensity and service delivery modes in school speech pathology settings.  I am hopeful that the IRB will accept my proposal and I will be able to continue on to perform research this fall.  The light at the end of the tunnel is coming into view. :) More to follow. ~H.

Hanging on with anything I can... I almost have my concept paper accepted. Still working on a few details.  Sent out interest letters to schools in my target area for the paper.  I'm getting them back in slowly.  Everyone is busy like I am right now.  Talk about a crazy semester...  95+ kids on caseload and a student intern as well as 10 credits for my doctorate... a bit insane.  Like I said, hanging on by any method possible. LOL!  Some great things too; finally getting rid of the braces I've had for three years in October! That will be a huge relief! Learning quite  bit from genetics and neuroscience this semester so far in the readings.  When I find something profoundly interesting I'll post.  Stay tuned... ~H.

Here's the photo of me doing FEES.

7/9/12- First day of the convention.

7/8/12--Finished Advanced Voice and swallowing course yesterday.  Did my own FEES instrumentation with a nasoendoscope for the first time.  Photo will follow at a later date.  No photo card reader here in FL.  This course was excellent!  Learned a lot of new instrumentation for both voice and swallowing that I hadn't known before or used before.  Move on to convention Monday.  More tomorrow.  I couldn't post the videoclip I made, the internet service here at the Polynesian isn't that good and it doesn't allow for fast upload or any upload of many videoclips.  I will try a shorter one tomorrow.
