She developed the proprietary VOICSSâ (Vocal Interactive Communication and Social Strategies) program model, which is currently offered in school and community-based groups through Voices Together. Three research studies conducted in partnership with Duke University found that VOICSSâ resulted insignificant improvement in the area of language, communication, and social/emotional learning. White is co-author of two published academic journal articles with Duke University that resulted from these studies.
