Teaching Responsibilities/InterestsI presently teach one undergraduate and two graduate courses. I teach the undergraduate course - Speech and Language Diagnostics - twice a year. In the fall, I teach Atypical language development and in the spring I teach Multicultural issues. My teaching interests include monolingual and bilingual child language development (especially during the preschool years). I also enjoy teaching assessment and intervention of language impaired children, as well as issues pertaining to language and culture, and sociolinguistics.

My
main area of research lies in the study of typical and atypical language
development in multicultural/bilingual children, with a particular emphasis
on Spanish-English. As a corollary, I am also interested in monolingual
development in typical and atypical children who speak these two languages.
Particular issues of interest within these areas are: development of
culturally and linguistic valid procedures in monolingual and bilingual
children, first language loss in bilingual children and grammatical
learning in monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-English speaking
typical and atypical children. The age range that I conduct research
with is preschool (2-5 years), although I am interested in earlier and
later language development.
