Dr. Binger received her master’s degree from the University of Wyoming and her Ph.D. at Penn State University. She worked for a number of years as a speech-language pathologist before obtaining her Ph.D. Dr. Binger’s primary research interests are twofold: developing and evaluating effective approaches to support the expressive grammar development of children who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and teaching key communication partners (such as parents and educators) how to support the language development of young children who require AAC.
