Lab-Based Research in CSD: Language Acquisition and Development

Catalog description

Students conduct research on language acquisition and development under the supervision of a faculty member, focusing on children with typical development, late talkers or children with or at risk for a language or communication disorder (such as autism spectrum disorder). Activities may include a literature review, learning laboratory techniques, collecting data, coding data, and statistical analysis. At the end of the semester, students complete a written report about a research project they worked on or give an oral presentation about the project at a lab meeting.
