IASCL Child Language

This is the official YouTube channel of the International Association for the Study of Child Language, IASCL. IASCL members study how children learn language, whether just a single one, two, or more. The main focus is on naturalistic learning, rather than learning associated with formal teaching in an institutional setting. Fundamental research on children's language acquisition across many different languages (including sign languages) is of great importance to understand people's "Language Making Capacity" across the lifespan. Its results have many applied implications, from parental support programs to assessment and treatment solutions for speech and language professionals working with atypically developing children.
