Project Description:

Bilingualism is an advantage for typically developing children. However, there is limited information about whether exposing a child at risk for or with developmental delays and disorders is advantageous or detrimental to language development. In this study, we evaluate two samples of children to determine whether those exposed to two languages develop their communication skills more slowly than those exposed to one language. The first sample is children from the High Risk Infant Follow-up Program at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. The second is children with autism.
