About this listen
Language is the basis for all human connection. It allows us to communicate our ideas, express our feelings, and have discussions with the people in our lives. The language skills we develop as children lay the foundation for how we communicate as adults. Typically developing children begin speaking between 12-18 months and start regularly incorporating verbs around the age of 2. Research suggests that the number of verbs a child knows at age 2 is an indicator of their grammar skills at age 3. But what happens when these language skills are delayed?
In this episode, Dr. Sabrina Horvath an assistant professor of rehabilitation sciences in the College of Health Professions at MUSC shares her research in childhood language development. Horvath is the Principal Investigator for the MACAW Lab, which stands for Methods of Acquiring Concepts and Words. Horvath leads research in child language development and disorder, late talkers, and vocabulary development.
