We have launched studies that help us build a better understanding of strategies that caregivers can use when reading to their children to foster an enriching environment for language learning, and how shared reading practices vary in bilingual family environments. We have also advanced our research seeking to understand individual differences in language skills in autistic children. We have been fortunate to receive new funding that enable us expand our research program (more to come on this!). We have also invested in community outreach and engagement to communicate our science towards the goal of translation to practice.<\/p>\n<p>It has been an absolute joy and privilege to pursue this work with a collaborative team of students and trainees who have come together with the shared mission to promote positive outcomes for all children. Our team has devoted their time, creativity, and curiosity to our research efforts. We have seen undergraduate students discover a passion for this field and advance in graduate programs in clinical speech-language pathology. We have celebrated graduates from our master\u2019s program in speech-language pathology and seen them become seasoned clinicians making a difference in clinical practice. We have proudly celebrated two Ph.D. students from our team as they earned their Doctoral degrees and successfully continued in prestigious postdoctoral fellowships. And we are thrilled to see two postdoctoral fellows from our lab successfully obtain tenure-track faculty positions and launch their own research laboratories. As we work together to build our scientific understanding, we have the tremendous joy of celebrating professional growth and remarkable accomplishments within our research team as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/zuklab\/files\/2026\/09\/LabUpdates2024to2026-636x367.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"636\" height=\"367\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/zuklab\/files\/2026\/09\/LabUpdates2024to2026-636x367.png 636w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/zuklab\/files\/2026\/09\/LabUpdates2024to2026-1024x591.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/zuklab\/files\/2026\/09\/LabUpdates2024to2026-768x443.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/zuklab\/files\/2026\/09\/LabUpdates2024to2026-1536x886.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/zuklab\/files\/2026\/09\/LabUpdates2024to2026-2048x1182.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been in a full, dynamic, and rich season of growing our research, our lab family, and biological family members :) Since our last news update, we have celebrated many accomplishments and exciting new milestones.
