Research interests
Learning to talk involves many different skills. From infants to school-age, kids need to develop the correct speech sounds for talking. Another major milestone is learning how to talk using words and then sentences.
At the Kid’s Talk lab we strive to understand individual differences in how children do this, including children who are typically developing and children who have developmental or acquired speech and language impairments. Our lab sees children from toddlers to school-age depending on the research project currently running.
Our lab includes researchers from the Discipline of Speech pathology.
