Dr. Rebecca J. Landa, a pioneer in autism research, has been selected by The University of Texas at Dallas Callier Center for Communication Disorders to receive the 2024 Thomas F. Campbell Callier Prize in Communication Disorders.
The prize recognizes individuals for their leadership in fostering scientific advances and significant developments in the diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders.
The biennial honor alternates between the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology, and was renamed in 2022 to honor former Callier Center executive director Dr. Thomas Campbell, now professor emeritus of behavioral and brain sciences.
“I’m deeply honored to be the Campbell Callier Prize recipient,” said Landa, who will receive the award April 8 at the Callier Cares Luncheon, hosted by the Foundation for the Callier Center.
She consults with schools, universities and families to establish educational and speech-language pathology programming for children with, or at risk for, communication disorders, including autism.
