Research interests
I am particularly interested in Specific language impairment (SLI) and its longitudinal lifecourse from childhood to adolescence. I am also interested psycholinguistic development of children with SLI including potential clinical markers for SLI; the psychosocial outcomes of children with SLI; the genetics/familiality of SLI; the educational/life transitions of children and young people with SLI; uses of new media and SLI and the overlap between Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and SLI.
