Kids Ages 4-5 With Speech-Language Delays Needed for Word Learning Study
Researchers from Purdue University are inviting families with 4-5 year-old children to join a study to better understand how children learn new words.
This study is looking for children who are behind in their language development. You, your child's preschool teacher, or a speech therapist may be concerned about your child's progress learning language.
For example, your child may qualify if you answer yes to some or all of these questions:
- Did your child start talking later than other children? Did they receive early intervention?
- Does your child say sentences that are short, and have missing words (such as "Where him go?", "Her like candy")
- Is your child hard to understand because they can't pronounce some sounds? Do they receive speech therapy now?
- Does your child have trouble following directions?
Study participation involves your child attending in-person study visits at the location of your choice:
- the Purdue Child Language Lab on the West Lafayette campus OR
- the Purdue SLHS Research Lab on Keystone Crossing in Indianapolis, IN.
