Dr. Steven M. Barlow to Receive the 2019 Callier Prize
We are pleased to honor Dr. Steven Barlow with the 2019 Callier Prize in Communication Disorders. The Callier Prize is a biennial award that recognizes individuals whose leadership and research contributions have promoted scientific advances and significant developments in the diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders.

He has a broad background in biology, speech physiology, neuroscience, biomechanics, and bioengineering applied to sensorimotor neurophysiology and plasticity of orofacial systems across the lifespan in health and disease. Dr. Barlow’s work has led to numerous technological innovations (FDA-approved NTrainer, Galileo Somatosensory, TAC-stim, NeoNNS, ForceWIN) to promote translational neurotherapeutics and motor rehabilitation of orofacial systems in premature infants and adults.
Dr. Barlow will be the keynote speaker at the Callier Prize Conference on April 16.
