3. Samuel Calder & Laura Glisson

In this episode of Reflections, Samuel Calder and Laura Glisson chat about their research. Sam Calder is undertaking a PhD, looking at the efficacy of an explicit grammar intervention for young children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). In addition, Sam works closely with children with Developmental Language Disorder and speech sound disorders in a one-on-one clinical context and in a capacity building role, supporting teachers in a specialist educational context. Laura Glisson is a speech pathologist working in school-aged language and literacy, predominantly, with children who have DLD and/or specific learning disorders. She completed her Master's by research in 2017; Laura designed a manualised oral narrative intervention program, and measured its efficacy with school-aged children with narrative delay.
