Our collaborators at University of Arizona have a new study opportunity for parents of 2-year-olds learning English in the U.S. as their first and only language.

Check out our new work in JSLHR where we consider ethical issues in collection of daylong audio recordings in children with language delays and disabilities. This work was part of a bioethics supplement from NIDCD. @dmessinger.bsky.social

Using automated, digital data collection -- e.g., daylong audio recordings of children's language environments -- is yielding important insights for research in CSD. But ethical issues have yet to be thoroughly explored. This study does just that. on.asha.org/45hnjh5 @sigperspectives.bsky.social

Check out our new work in Developmental Science! The more shape-based nouns (e.g., chair, cup) children knew shortly after implantation, the better their language outcomes, 1-3 years later.
