Meet our Clients

Dr. Katleen Scaler Scott
Kathleen Scaler Scott, Ph.D., CCC-SLP

The SSC's expertise and real-world understanding of the application of statistical concepts is the difference between a busy faculty member being stymied by statistical roadblocks and seeing the data through to publication. SSC has helped me revise statistical methods, resulting in article publication, and to design a sound quantitative study from the outset. Having a solid design is so important to eventual publication. The value of the SSC to ensure solid design as well as their expertise on data analysis and interpretation throughout a research project is something that should not be taken for granted. Dr. Floren and his SSC play a pivotal role in the quality and quantity of research projects that come out of this university.

{Dr. Floren/ SCC} provides expert services in a timely manner! They were a joy to work with and were incredibly accommodating when we were having to deal with a strict deadline. They helped guide us on the correct path regarding our data analysis and were able to give detailed and easy to understand explanations of the results. They proved an invaluable asset in helping us produce a quality final product that was presented at the DPT Research Symposium.

Dr. Floren’s statistical expertise has been a huge asset to my team's latest research project. He was very professional in guiding me through an analysis plan appropriate for our project, and provided feedback very promptly. Dr. Floren was always available to discuss any questions I had about the statistics – and he did so with great enthusiasm! Above all, he was devoted to every aspect of the project…it was obvious that he really took ownership of his contribution. He has been a fantastic collaborator!
