Welcome to the University of Delaware's SLAM Research Lab! As a part of the College of Health Sciences, we study how children acquire language, and are conducting research studies to test these phenomena.

The SLAM Lab is looking for participants who are enrolled in 100-level Spanish courses at the University of Delaware! If you are interested in participating, please contact Mackensie Blair: [email protected] for more information.

Are you worried about your child's communication milestones? Trust your instincts and visit a certified speech-language pathologist for an evaluation! #BHSM https://t.co/fTCWaL9uId

[ASHA @ASHAWeb]

The #BHSM poll results are in! Findings show parents still aren’t aware of many warning signs of early communication disorders; only 23% could identify 75% or more of the signs from a provided list; only 5% correctly identified all the signs. https://t.co/H0tZrk5K6a

More funding? Less paperwork? Yes! Take action to support ASHA’s requests to Congress to increase funding for the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and to address the paperwork burden of school-based providers! https://t.co/D1Vnb1HDWH
