Understanding the language learning mechanisms used by children
Identifying effective ways to support children at risk for language learning problems
• Typically Developing Dual Language Learners
• Typically Developing Children in Poverty
• Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)• Expressive/receptive communication delay • Specific Language Impairment
Summer science camp3 conditions: vocabulary, grammar, controlStudent training opportunity
Does language therapy improve science learning for pre-k kids with DLD?
Does the delivery mechanism influence the dosage and uptake of the target structure differently for kids w/ DLD and Dual Language Learners?
