Jacob Feldman, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, is a researcher at Boys Town National Research Hospital whose work focuses on the links between sensory development and other clinical features, such as language and literacy development, in children diagnosed with and at increased familial likelihood for autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. His NIDCD-funded R00 (“The Looking and Language [LoLa] Project”) aims to extend this work by embedding increased multisensory perceptual cues into pre-emptive communication and language therapy for infants with autistic older siblings.

Before joining Boys Town Hospital, Dr. Feldman was a research fellow at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
