Robert (Bob) Domingo, Ph.D.

Bob Domingo received his Ph.D. in 1991 from C.U.N.Y. Graduate Center, NYC, having researched the pragmatic language abilities of persons with developmental disabilities. Throughout his 40+ year long career he has devoted his clinical life to treating the speech, language and swallowing disabilities of persons with autism, Down syndrome and the intellectually / developmentally disabled, employing both verbal and non-verbal strategies and systems based on need. 

Throughout his professional life, Bob has also personally enjoyed participating in community theatre, having performed in many musicals, one-act plays and radio theatre.  Bob and his wife, who met while doing a play together, have performed together as well as co-directed musicals and original plays. 

Most recently Bob has chosen to combine his lifelong loves of theatre and therapy to address the communicative skills of teens and young adults with limited social skills in the community. Weekly community theatre classes incorporate voice, movement, story-telling, percussion and improvisation to enhance interpersonal awareness and expression through voice and body movements. Voice and speech exercises help increase awareness of one’s breathing, inflection and articulation, to improve verbal intelligibility. In small group scenes, attention is focused on what others say or do while telling a story. In turn each participant can know what to say or do in reply, in order to maintain the dialog.

Bob supervises his undergraduate and graduate students that participate in weekly improv classes which are held on the campus of LIU Post.
