Todd Bohnenkamp

Todd Bohnenkamp is an Associate Professor in the Department of Speech-Language Pathology at the University of Northern Iowa. His academic career spans from 2004 to at least 2015, progressing from Instructor to Assistant Professor (2007–2012) and then to Associate Professor (2012–2015). His research focuses on respiratory physiology in speech, neurogenic communication disorders, aging-related communication changes, and voice/speech rehabilitation post-laryngectomy. He has advised multiple graduate students on topics ranging from aphasia therapy to aging executive function.

Key research areas include postlaryngectomy speech mechanics, tracheoesophageal speech adaptations, and the application of technology in aphasia rehabilitation. His work frequently examines respiratory and vocal mechanisms in clinical populations, with a particular emphasis on aging and neurorehabilitation. Notable trends in his publications address the biomechanics of speech breathing, cognitive aspects of communication disorders, and gender differences in neuropsychological testing.
