Amanda Seidl is an Associate Professor in the Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences department at Purdue University. The overarching goal of her research is to discover how language comes to the child.  Her current research program focuses on early predictors of language. Specifically, this work explores the ways in which measures of early speech perception, production, and the input to the child relate to later language in both typical development and in children at-risk for  autism spectrum disorders.
