Language and Literacy in Young People

Language and Literacy in Young People is a thriving group of researchers and HDR students, based at Curtin University in Western Australia. We carry out research to inform our understanding of oral language development and disorders in children and young people, as well as the domains of reading and spelling (literacy).

 

We also undertake treatment efficacy and effectiveness studies to add to the evidence base in:

#DevLangDis               developmental language disorder
