Human Speech Kinematics Experimental Studies (HUSKIES) Lab
The HUSKIES Lab explores language learning in autistic and non-autistic children. As our name suggests, some of our studies use unique methods of capturing language, such as speech kinematic measures (for example, lip and jaw movement), during learning. In addition to exploring motor movements of the mouth, we also have studies where we measure other gross motor features. In particular, we explore balance and hand coordination.
Our focus is learning about differences in language learning mechanisms and motor development in neurodiverse children, with the ultimate goal of improving speech and language interventions for these children.
