Children’s Auditory Research for Educational Success
Our research seeks to improve the lives of school-age children with hearing differences.
Who We Are
The CARES lab is run by Dr. Samantha Gustafson, an Assistant Professor at Indiana University. Our research aims to understand how we can better support school-age children with hearing differences.
Dr. Gustafson is recruiting PhD students for Fall 2026!
