Julianne Garbarino (HESP): How do disfluencies relate to early grammatical errors?
Abstract: Children usually begin to stutter between ages 2.5 and 3.5-- a period when their expressive language includes many errors when compared to adult models. This talk will explore the relationship between grammatical errors in children's early language and the production of stuttering-like and non-stuttered disfluencies.
(Rescheduled from April 16.)
