Lorna
Sikorski, M.A., CCC-SP has been authoring and publishing materials since 1983.
Since founding LDS & Associates in 1987, Lorna
has continually refined her communication programs for adult ESL professionals,
taking advantage of new product development
technologies such as electronic editions and online learning tools. Her assessment
and instructional materials are not only sought out by corporate trainers but
are used as teaching materials in university speech clinics throughout the
country. “I’m constantly looking at what we have, wondering how
to improve the look and feel of these materials. Jumping into a new writing
project is something I thoroughly enjoy. It’s definitely one of my passions.” The
products she authored and coauthored are worldwide best sellers and the backbone
of the LDS catalog:

Accent Modification ResourceI agree with Patricia Cecil-Reed that accent modification truly is "the number-one best-kept secret" for speech-language pathologists, as mentioned in Judy Kuster's "Internet" column in the April 27 issue. I am embarking on a second career in this field and I have found it to be very challenging and rewarding. However, the article did not mention the excellent evaluation instrument by Lorna Sikorski, Proficiency in Oral English Communication (POEC). My clients expect a detailed analysis of their speech and a specific plan of instruction. This evaluation delivers the information needed to get started. Vicki Hopgood |
