Dongsun Yim

Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders

Dongsun Yim studies how language learning and nonlinguistic cognitive processing are linked and whether and how limitations in nonlinguistic cognitive processing skills potentially affect language difficulties in children. Her research questions are answered through working with monolingual children and bilingual children with and without language impairment. The ultimate research goal is to find a better way to diagnose language impairment in linguistically diverse children and effectively treat these children.
