I do not know who posted the Wikipedia biography about me. It's a pretty good job. I propose a few changes to make the article more accurate (about what fields I contribute to) and about my demographics. These changes are easily verifiable on line. I have prepared additional material with references to my work and citations to my work. Where can I submit this for review by Wikipedia editors?).

D. Kimbrough Oller (born March 31, 1946) is an American scientist who has contributed to the fields of the evolution of language, child phonology, speech-language pathology (focusing on vocal patterns in cases of infant and childhood hearing loss, Down syndrome, and autism), and to the fields of bilingualism and second-language acquisition. He is currently Professor and Plough Chair of Excellence at the University of Memphis.[1] He is also external faculty member of the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research[2] (Klosterneuburg, Austria). Oller was elected as a Fellow of the American Speech–Language–Hearing Association (ASHA) in 2004 and was granted the Honors of ASHA in 2013.

In 2011, one of Oller's scientific research articles was recognized by Autism Speaks as one of the top ten achievements in autism.[3] Oller's seminal work on the development of babbling contributed an understanding of how early problems with babbling may be signs of later speech and language disorders.[4] Oller is a permanent member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the LENA Foundation of Boulder, Colorado.[5]
