Recently, members of our lab attended the first ever Meeting on Language in Autism (MoLA) conference at Duke University! This international conference was created and attended by some of the top names of our field, as well as many fantastic graduate students and up-and-coming researchers that bridged a wide variety of disciplines.
During the conference we had two graduate students, Katherine and Jojo present. In particular, during the conference, Katherine presented a poster entitled “No Advantage of Pragmatic Inference for Vocabulary Retention in Children with Autism” and received fantastic feedback from members of her field! She quotes, “even more wondrous was seeing all the cutting-edged work on display and expanding my breadth of knowledge and personal connections”.
