CRAE Webinar Series: Language in Minimally Verbal Autistic Children, by Jo Saul (06/05/2021)
Channel: Crae IOE
Date: 2021-05-17

Full Title: “Expressive Language Development in Minimally Verbal Autistic Children.”

Jo Saul's interest in autism research was sparked over a decade ago when her son received an autism diagnosis. She joined UCL in 2014 as a Masters student, and in 2020 she completed her PhD under the supervision of Professor Courtenay Norbury. 

Jo's research examines language development in children with neurodevelopmental conditions, particularly which factors predict variation in their language trajectories, and how high quality interventions can be developed and evaluated. 

She currently has a teaching lectureship in Experimental Psychology at UCL and has also been a member of Autistica's Language and Communication Study Group since 2019.

The webinar took place online on 11.00-12.00, 6th May 2021. It was organised by CRAE, the Centre for Research in Autism and Education.

This is based within the Department of Psychology and Human Development at UCL Institute of Education. Its mission is to improve the lives of autistic people and their families through research.
