Researcher Summary
I am interested in the relationship between cognitive processing, language acquisition and linguistic input, particularly for children with language disorders. I was part of running a longitudinal study "Learning to Talk" which investigated early measures of working memory as predictors of later language outcomes for late talking and typically developing children. I have recently published papers on the topics of speech language therapy practice with multilingual children and reading difficulties in children with language disorders. Currently I am investigating parent linguistic input for young children as a preventative measure for language delays.
