Research Description:

I am interested in the influences on infant/toddler language development, such as caregiver input and language environments, both in typical development and in neurodevelopmental disabilities. Much of my current work focuses on early signs and identification of autism, and how caregiver factors may play a role in the emergence of language in this population.
