Adlof, PhD, Suzanne M
Associate Professor
The long-term goals of my research are to improve the early identification of language and reading difficulties and develop effective interventions to remediate those difficulties. Ongoing projects are aimed at understanding developmental similarities and differences between reading and language subgroups, including dyslexia and specific language impairment, examining vocabulary development in children and adolescents, and developing effective pre-literacy interventions for young children.
