Speech and Language Research

​​​​​​We combine clinical​ services, innovative research and national outreach focused on language, communication development and early interventions for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Translational research programs within this Center focus on the study of child language and communicative development in children who hear and in those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Our ultimate goal is to contribute evidence that will guide early and ongoing interventions for children and their families. These laboratories are housed in the Lied Learning and Technology Center at Boys Town National Research Hospital.
