Speech and language acquisition involves the rapid growth and strengthening of neural connections in areas responsible for processing sounds and words. The brain’s plasticity during early years allows children to easily acquire language through interaction and exposure. Critical periods of development ensure that the foundational skills for speech and language are built efficiently, leading to better communication abilities as children grow. In this talk, Dr. Chang will provide an overview of how children acquire speech and language, and what may go awry in this process, leading to speech and language disorders.
Soo-Eun Chang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan. She received her MS degree and clinical training at Vanderbilt University, her PhD in Speech and Hearing Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and trained as a postdoctoral research fellow at the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Chang’s research program focuses on examining the functional neuroanatomical mechanisms supporting speech motor control, and neural bases of developmental stuttering.
