Abstract
Taylor Baber speaks with Dr. Harvey Abrams about his connection to the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) over the years. At the request of Dr. Silliman, then chair of department, Abrams taught a hearing aids course in the ’80s; this was the beginning a relationship that evolved into a synergy between Bay Pines VA hospital, where Dr. Abrams was employed, and the Department of Communications and Sciences Disorders. He discusses how CSD has grown from a five-year master’s program to an AuD and PhD program and how the field of communication disorders has likewise expanded in scope and discipline. He notes the collaboration between himself and Dr. Chisolm as very productive in the area of aural rehabilitation. Baber concludes the interview by commenting on the excellence of the chairs for the department. Through their vision and planning, the program now attracts great research scholars, students, and funding opportunities.
