Research Facilities - Child Language Intervention Laboratory
Research in this lab focuses on developing and evaluating interventions to teach functional social, language, and literacy skills to children at-risk for and with disabilities. Dr. Goldstein and his students have produced important research on:
- Embedding interventions focusing on language, vocabulary, and phonological awareness skills into shared book reading
- Peer-mediated interventions to promote social communication in children with autism and other developmental disabilities in inclusive preschools
- Effects of vocabulary and phonics intervention on preventing reading disabilities in at-risk children in low income schools
- Observational leaning and generalization processes in language learning
Much of the current research has sought to develop multi-tiered systems of support
models for early childhood settings as part of the national Center on Response to
Intervention in Early Childhood. CRTIEC is a multi-university initiative that has
been developing a model for identifying at-risk children early so we can provide a
tiered approach to pre-Kindergarten instruction that will target language and emergent
literacy skills that are critical to school success.
