The Symposium on Research in Child Language Disorders

  • Promotes high quality research on language disorders in children by providing a focused forum for scientific exchange.

  • Invites presentations by notable theoreticians in linguistics, psycholinguistics, developmental psychology, neurobiology and genetics.
  • Invites presentations by prominent researchers who have completed long term projects on specific populations or problems.
  • Promotes doctoral and post doctoral student participation as well as participation at these levels by underrepresented minorities.

Conference Etiquette

  • Attendees will refrain from recording or photographing presenters or their presentation materials.
  • Posts, tweets, and messages must not be disparaging in nature. If you wouldn’t want to see it written about you, don’t write it at all.
