Our long-standing interdisciplinary doctoral program has a legacy of preparing researchers in child language and language impairments in a way that bridges knowledge of language acquisition, children’s language impairments, developmental psychology, and linguistics. We are broadening our scope to include genetics and quantitative modeling methods. We will continue our strong emphasis on: Empirical methods and theoretical frameworks, accurate description and documentation of children’s language acquisition, Identification of symptoms of impairments, we believe these are essential for accurate phenotyping of individuals in genetics studies. We are adding courses in genetics intended to bridge expertise in behavioral phenotyping with expertise in molecular genetics. We welcome students with a background in either behavioral phenotyping/language acquisition or molecular genetics. We are adding a new series of courses on multivariate modeling methods tailored to the research designs used in studies of language acquisition and language impairments.
