At Child Language Studies, we are interested in language development in infancy and childhood. We are currently studying the development of speech perception in infants from 2 months of age to about 2 years of age. We are also interested in parent-infant interaction related to speech and language development. Our current studies of the development of speech perception in childhood include infants from 2-3 months of age, to children of about 14 years of age. We welcome both infants and children who are typically developing and those with developmental difficulties.

Our studies are all observational—we do not use any medical procedures— and parents are in the same room with their infants and children at all times.

If you think that you might be interested in participating in one of our studies you can call us at 203-865-6163, extension 337 for more information, or fill our Parent Consent form and we will contact you by phone. All information is confidential. We do not share or sell our contact information with any businesses or outside agencies.
