Philip Combiths CV

Research focus
My primary goal is to use our understanding of the diversity of language and multilingual language acquisition to better understand developmental speech and language impairments and to provide better clinical services to all individuals with communication disorders, including those within minoritized and understudied groups, through linguistically informed assessment and intervention tools and approaches.
