The Symposium on Research in Child Language Disorders (SRCLD) invites you to
submit your recent research for presentation at our 28th meeting to be held in
Madison, June 5-7, 2008. This meeting is sponsored by the Department of
Communicative Disorders, University of Wisconsin-Madison and the National
Institute of Deafness and other Communication Disorders, the National Institute
on Child Health and Human Development, and the National Institutes of Health.
The symposium continues to expand the scope of work presented, particularily in
the areas of cross-linguistic research, bilingual language development, and the
language and communication skills of children with developmental disabilities.
The setting will once again be the Frank Lloyd Wright designed
Monona Convention Center in Madison, on the shore of Lake Monona. This
meeting will provide an exciting opportunity to share your research and discuss
new research opportunities with colleagues from around the world. Traditionally
this meeting has been a forum for high quality research, fostering research
development through NIH supported student travel awards.
