Why Chosen
I am a nurse scientist that studies neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants born preterm. Language directed toward infants during early infancy has been shown to improve cognitive outcomes in this population. Encouraging language exposure by both caregivers and parents is one of the research strategies I use to mitigate this known morbidity associated with preterm birth.
