Mission

Overview

Our lab was established in 2022 when Dr. Restrepo came to USF from Arizona State University. Our lab's main mission is to identify best language and literacy assessment and intervention practices for bilingual children at risk of academic difficulties. 

We are an entirely Latina woman run laboratory and we take pride in being able to use our unique perspective to decrease the gap in access between at-risk kids and vital speech and language services. Through our work in this area we hope to have better representation in our field for an underserved population an increase advocacy for this population.
