Host institution: School of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology,

This is an updated announcement and reminder: If you have not submitted an abstract for the International Child Phonology Conference, we have extended the deadline to March 1, 2010. We will have an excellent program (though not yet finalized) including a symposium on phonology in early hearing impairment, as well as sessions on bilingualism, vocal development, methods and theory in child phonology, and prosody in child language, in addition to a poster session. If you wish to submit an abstract please follow the updated instructions below which include a “learner outcome”, because ASHA CEU’s (continuing education units) will be available for participating clinicians.
