University profile
Dr. Elaine Russo Hitchcock is an associate professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Montclair State University. Dr. Hitchcock is a certified speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of clinical experience working with multiple clinical populations including many individuals with speech sound disorders, motor speech disorders, and voice disorders. At the Montclair State University-Clinical Biofeedback Lab, she conducts research investigating the effectiveness of visual biofeedback techniques, including ultrasound, visual-acoustic and electropalatographic (EPG) biofeedback, as a form of intervention for individuals with communication disorders.
Dr. Hitchcock uses biofeedback to help individuals visualize subtle or unconscious speech processes with the goal of bringing them under conscious control. To date, Dr. Hitchcock and her team have successfully used visual biofeedback for treating speech sound disorders, motor speech disorders, accent reduction and voice disorders. Several research projects in the Clinical Biofeedback Lab are funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disordersis.
