Rate My Professor Bridgette Hill

Hill's research specializations encompass speech pathology clinical education models and voice and communication supports for autistic trans and gender diverse individuals. She contributed as corresponding author to 'Harmonizing Identities: A Scoping Review on Voice and Communication Supports and Challenges for Autistic Trans and Gender Diverse Individuals,' published in 2025 in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. This scoping review synthesized 40 sources, revealing that 96.8% of identified challenges pertain to communication, affecting biopsychosocial wellbeing (20%), identity exploration (16.84%), and service delivery barriers, while only 3.2% address voice-specific issues. Supports primarily target communication (91.3%), including adaptive coping strategies, goal setting, and provider training, with calls for enhanced guidelines and specialized speech pathologist training. Hill led the conception, design, analysis, drafting, and revisions. Additionally, she co-authored 'Ready to practice in hospitals? Insights into developing a co-designed speech pathology clinical education model' in 2024 in Higher Education Research & Development, leveraging her clinical background to inform curriculum adaptations from traditional 13-week placements to hospital-integrated co-designed models for improved student preparedness.
