Dr. Keri Madsen is a visiting instructor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders for the Sarasota-Manatee campus. She joined USF in 2016 as an assistant research professor and has served as coordinator for two large federally-funded research projects in the Child Language Intervention Laboratory. Prior to joining USF, Dr. Madsen was a curriculum writer and research coordinator at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. Her research has centered on designing, developing, and evaluating early literacy interventions for students at-risk-for or experiencing reading difficulties. Dr. Madsen has additional interests in teacher knowledge related to literacy instruction and the potential role speech-language pathologists may have in helping teachers improve this knowledge. Prior to completing her Ph.D. in Special Education at the University of Florida, Dr. Madsen served for eight years as a speech-language pathologist, reading teacher, and literacy coach in Florida public schools, working with elementary and secondary students with a variety of speech, language, and learning needs.
