UConn Research Foundation funding awarded

The SLaP Lab has been awarded a Faculty Large Grant from the UConn Research Foundation.  The title of the project is “A Pilot Study to Examine Accommodation of Phonetic Variability in Children with Specific Language Impairment.”  This research will examine how children with and without language disorders extract speech sound categories (i.e., consonants and vowels) from the acoustic speech signal.  Part of this award will fund a graduate assistantship for Jean Campbell who is completing her Master’s thesis in the SLaP Lab.
