More than 1,000 children from across the state and beyond have received free, one-of-a-kind speech therapy through the program since its initial NIH funding in 1985. This project is headed in part by Linguistics Professor Daniel Dinnsen. More information about the award and the Learnability Project are available through the IU news page.
