About Woolfolk Center
Our Mission
The mission of the Woolfolk Center is to gather comprehensive profiles of children with language impairments of different origins and follow these children across the lifespan to track their development.
Important work has been done in the field of speech-language pathology to assess the skills of children who have difficulty understanding and using language. However, clinicians do not have ready access to profiles of children with language impairment. Research-based profiles of language disorders could be used by clinicians to improve accuracy of diagnosis and choose appropriate treatment goals. Through collecting a large, longitudinal database of children with a variety of language impairments across a battery of tests, we can create profiles of how children with specific impairments change over time and what treatment targets might have the greatest impact.
Summer Enrichment Program & Research Study
The Woolfolk Center is running a study that tests children with suspected or confirmed language disorders and follows them over time. We are currently looking for 4-6 year olds to participate in our summer experience. Children will come to the UT Austin campus for 4 half-days and will take part in testing and group language enrichment activities. We provide families reports of tests results and parents will get $25 for completing questionnaires. We will invite the child to test with us every 16-20 months. At these later testing timepoints the family will receive $75 for testing with us and a report of test results. Click on the button below to review the consent document and to sign up.
