Kid's Talk Lab

The Kid’s Talk Lab is interested in how children learn to talk and express themselves. Learning to talk involves many different skills. From infants to school-age, kids need to develop the correct speech sounds for talking. Another major milestone is learning how to talk using words and then sentences. At the Kid’s Talk lab we strive to understand individual differences in how children do this, from those kids who are typically developing to those that have developmental or acquired speech and language impairments. Our lab sees children from toddlers to school-age depending on the research project currently running.

Talking Toddlers - we need you!
Did you know that children learn an average of one new word every 1 to 2 waking hours during the first five years of their life! How do children do this? Researchers at The University of Sydney are conducting a study to find this out!
