Jamaican children's speech and language
In 2013 I accompanied Dr. Karla Washington to Jamaica to support her first phase of data collection regarding children's speech and language (see blog posts here). Dr. Washington has gone from strength to strength - and recently has been awarded an NIH Grant to continue this work. Here is a news release from her university about her ongoing work and accomplishments: https://www.uc.edu/news/articles/2019/09/n20857796.html
Congratulations Karla!
