CHLLD Lab

The Child Hearing, Language, Literacy and Deafness Laboratory supports families through research

Would you like to learn more about your child's speech and language skills? We know that some children with hearing loss have difficulty acquiring new vocabulary words and have difficulty with early reading skills, life phonological awareness. In this study, we will look at how vocabulary learning and phonological awareness develop together in children with cochlear implants as compared to children with normal hearing.

90 children ages 4-7 will be asked to participate in this study.

$50 gift cards are granted for participation in this study!

Picking a PhD program? Start with the mentor, not the university. ✨

For practicing SLPs returning to grad school, the right mentor makes ALL the difference.
Look for someone who…
🔹 Does research you care about
🔹 Works well with clinicians
🔹 Has a strong, supportive lab culture
🔹 Advocates for your professional and academic goals
🔹 Communicates clearly and consistently

Your PhD mentor becomes your guide, your champion, and your training partner. Choose the person who feels like the right fit — not just on paper, but in real conversations. 🌟

“What made you decide to get a PhD?” 💭
We asked our students — and their answers might surprise you!
A PhD isn’t just about more school. It’s about shaping the future of the field, discovering what works (and why), and empowering others through research and teaching. 🌟
If you’ve ever wanted to make a difference beyond the therapy room, this could be your path.
