Mark Guiberson serves as Professor and Director of the Division of Communication Disorders within the University of Wyoming's College of Health Sciences. His work focuses on enhancing clinical practices for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) populations, particularly dual language learners and Indigenous children in rural and underserved communities through evidence-based interventions.
His educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Communication Disorders, Colorado State University (2006)
- M.A. in Communication Disorders, University of Colorado (1999)
- B.A. in Communication Disorders, University of Colorado (1997)
Dr. Guiberson's research centers on developing culturally responsive clinical practices in speech-language pathology, with emphasis on early language and literacy development for CLD children. He investigates telehealth solutions to address service disparities, promotes cultural competence in graduate curricula, and conducts systematic reviews to identify best practices for Indigenous communities and dual language learners. His work bridges academic research with practical clinical applications in underserved settings.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2020-2024) reveals a cohesive focus on culturally responsive interventions across multiple domains. Key trends include systematic examinations of speech intelligibility in deaf/hard-of-hearing children, development of literacy strategies for Indigenous populations, and exploration of collaborative dynamics in early intervention teams. His research consistently addresses gaps in service delivery for marginalized communities through methodologically diverse approaches including scoping reviews, descriptive studies, and telehealth applications.
His scientific awards highlight national recognition:
- American Speech-Language Hearing Association Certificate of Recognition for Multicultural Affairs (2024)
- University of Wyoming Diversity, Excellence and Inclusion Award (2024)
- Language, Speech and Hearing Services in Schools Editor's Award (2024)

Dr. Guiberson has secured significant grant funding from NIH and institutional sources for projects including the Wyoming/Wind River Early Literacy Curriculum Development (2022-2025) and Telehealth Practices for Native American Children (2020). His teaching portfolio encompasses Early Language Intervention, School-age Language Intervention, Stuttering, and Speech Disorders Across the Lifespan, reflecting his clinical expertise and commitment to training future practitioners in culturally responsive care.
He maintains active professional engagement through ASHA Special Interest Group 14 (focusing on cultural/linguistic diversity), the Wyoming Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and NIH-funded Mountain West CTR-IN initiatives, demonstrating leadership in advancing equity in communication sciences.
