She teaches courses in child language acquisition and disorders. Her research focuses on the development of language and literacy skills in children with specific language impairment (SLI). The goals of Dr. Schuele’s research on complex syntax acquisition in children with SLI are (a) to document the course of complex syntax acquisition in children with SLI as compared to typically developing same-age peers and language-matched peers, and (b) to explain the complex syntax deficits of children with SLI with an emphasis on considering the linguistic limitations of children with SLI that lead to complex syntax difficulties.
