Our Study of Language and Math (SLaM) project investigates the effect of deaf children's number language on their ability to count, estimate quantities, and understand foundational mathematical principles. This project is supported by the NSF CAREER Award.
Question: How can we support number development and math skills in hearing, deaf, and hard of hearing children?
Approach: Basic research on how children’s experiences affect their learning.
SLaM is one of our studies in the Language Creation Lab. To learn more about our lab click here.
