Moving on to New York's Columbia University to pursue her doctorate, Irene Gioules began a lifelong specialization in pediatrics. Her dissertation entitled "The Developmental Coordination of Breathing Movements and Swallowing" focused expressly on motor skill development in young children. While at Columbia, Dr. Gioules was also honored with a grant in the field of Speech and Hearing.

In addition to her scholarly research, Dr. Irene Gioules completed a clinical fellowship in an acute care setting that addressed adverse neonatal and adult neurological conditions. Continuing to work with a pediatric patient base, Dr. Gioules stresses preventive measures and early intervention in her private practice at Theratalk. In addition to its extensive work with those under the age of 18, Theratalk Speech-Language Pathology also aids a number of adult patients who experience speech-impairing neurological problems.
