Background

My clinical experience as a speech therapist working with different populations that present atypical language development and my linguistic and cognitive psychology background guide the theoretical and clinical questions of my research:

  • Language characteristics and language deficits in atypical language acquisition.
  • Modularity within the language domain in atypical populations.
  • Language development and assessment of language in bilingual children.
  • The acquisition of syntax and semantics.
  • Sign languge acquisition. 

Research

Current research:

  1. Age, hearing, hearing aid use and rapid learning in recognition of perceptually-difficult speech and in acclimatization to hearing aids (with Prof. Karen Banai)
  2. Hearing screening in first grade school children using signals in noise
