Grammar is the basis of linguistic creativity.
Pamela A. Hadley Ph.D., CCC-SLP
Our Purpose
Grammar is the basis of linguistic creativity. The Applied Psycholinguistics Lab is committed to helping children with language disorders harness this natural resource. Research projects in this lab investigate how children developing language typically and children at risk for language disorders learn grammar. Our goal is to improve identification of preschool language disorders and develop effective family-focused language interventions to promote social interaction and school success.
