Research

I am interested in the interdisciplinary intersection between Spanish linguistics and developmental disorders. My current research relates to Spanish second language acquisition by children with autism, and I will continue working with this population as I develop future projects related to bilingualism.

I recently presented my research project “Using Autism Quotient Scores to Predict Second Language Phonetic Trait Imitation Ability” at the New Sounds 2022 Conference, 10th International Symposium on the Acquisition of Second Language Speech in Barcelona, Spain.
