Child Language Research Group

UC's Child Language Research Group explores children's speech and language development and related abilities. We cover a broad range of topics in child speech and language and focus on supporting children with difficulties to achieve optimal outcomes.

We provide research training to postgraduate students at the Master's and PhD levels and to undergraduate students who are in their final year of study.

Our home academic department is the School of Psychology, Speech and Hearing and we are affiliated with the New Zealand Institute of Language, Brain & Behaviour (NZILBB), Child Well-being Institute, New Zealand Speech Therapy Association (NZSTA) and International Society of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC).
