Maria L. Munoz

Nearly 25 years of experience as a speech-language pathologist has given Maria L. Muñoz, Ph.D., CCC-SLP insight into the profession from the perspective of a student, a clinician, a researcher, a clinical supervisor, and an instructor. Her commitment to engage in and teach evidence-based practice led her to two questions: How do clinicians find the time and resources needed for EBP? Where do clinicians go to learn how to implement specific treatments? Not finding good answers to either question, she came up with one…Recipe SLP, the speech-language pathologist’s source for affordable evidence-based guides to the science and method of specific clinical practices. Dr. Muñoz is currently an associate professor in Fort Worth, TX. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin as a participant in the Multicultural Leadership Training Program, after which she completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Arizona.
