Research Interests
My research examines language development in monolingual and bilingual children with and without Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), in Hebrew, Arabic and Yiddish as well as Hebrew-English and Hebrew-Russian contexts. My interest is in cross-linguistic influence in morphosyntactic knowledge and narrative development, including intervention studies. We explore diagnostic markers and assessment of DLD, contributing to evidence-based practices for identification of DLD in multilingual contexts.
