Specifically, we examine the characteristics of vocal communication (e.g. the amount of turn-taking and its structure) between caregivers and their children who are typically developing and those with hearing loss. We strive to predict how the bidirectional nature of these characteristics affect both child language outcomes and caregiver's behavior. Our most recent studies examine the effect of modern technology, such as telepractice, on pediatric patient-provider interactions.
