Conditions of social vulnerability and language development

Fri, April 9, 11:35am to 1:05pm EDT (11:35am to 1:05pm EDT), Virtual

Session Type: Flash Talk Session

Abstract

Socioeconomic inequalities most often put disadvantaged groups at significantly higher risk for health effects and cognitive development deficits or delays. How do these conditions affect language development? These flash talks will show us how family stress, low SES, and institutionalization rearing can affect language outcome in healthy or otherwise at-risk children, and will explain how the interaction with parents or caretakers might be a crucial factor in language development for children under these circumstances. Finally, the talks will show us intervention proposals that will provide us with promissory information on how to ameliorate the adverse effects these conditions of vulnerability have on child language development.
