The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, a non-profit organization located in Boys Town, Nebraska. The $611,625 award, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2028, will support research to investigate factors that affect sentence prediction abilities in children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). The research project aims to measure the impact of sentence-level and participant-level properties on sentence prediction, assess the linguistic knowledge underlying prediction, and examine event processing skills related to prediction in 5-7 year old children with DLD. The findings are expected to bridge disparate literatures, inform intervention approaches, and lay the groundwork for future longitudinal research on the relationship between early prediction ability, language knowledge, and sentence comprehension.
