Participate in Language Research

Description

Hello!

I am conducting research on Specific Language Impairment (SLI) in bilingual children and how they develop certain properties of language. This will be investigated by testing your child with three game-like activities and the completion of a language background questionnaire. This research is conducted under the supervision of Professor Lydia White, of McGill University Department of Linguistics.

The Research Ethics Board at McGill has granted approval to conduct this study, and and I am recruiting children from the following groups:
– Bilingual English-Italian or English-Spanish children with SLI
– Monolingual English children who are typically developing

The study will take place in the Department of Linguistics at McGill University, over Skype, or in the child’s home if preferred. The study will last approximately one hour.

If you and your child are interested in participating or would like more information about the research, please contact Hayley Ostrega at hayley.ostrega@mail.mcgill.ca.
