SHACS: Derek Houston, PhD - Input and Parent-Child Interaction Factors in the Development of Spoken Language in Children who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing

Most research on spoken language development in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing has, understandably, focused on auditory access and speech perception. However, speech perception accounts for less than 25% of variance in language outcomes. Like typically hearing children, language outcome of children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing depends on their ability to make meaning of the auditory input they receive during social interactions with caregivers. Four years ago, I proposed a conceptual framework that asserted that variability in outcomes depended on the total language input that is accessible, attended to, and coordinated with children’s attention during social interactions (Houston, 2022). In this talk, I will use this framework to organize findings from my lab and others toward a growing but far-from-complete understanding of how many input and parent-child interaction factors contribute to variability in language outcomes in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing.   Derek M. Houston, PhD is a… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Eagleson Hall (EGL). Campus room: Room 211. Accessibility Contact: lfoy@uw.edu. Event Types: Academics. Lectures/Seminars.

MAXIMIZING SNOW STORAGE THROUGH FIRE-RESILIENT FOREST TREATMENTS: An example of climate adaptive management from the Eastern Cascades, WA, USA

In degraded landscapes, supporting climate adaptation for aquatic species and their habitats will require deploying diverse management actions in order to reduce the amplification effects of climate change.  In the upper watersheds of the Eastern Cascade Mountains, wildfire suppression has increased forest density, drought susceptibility, and high severity burns. The area’s rivers are also drought vulnerable, with 75% of surface flow dependent upon snowpack. We asked whether forest thinning techniques designed to support wildfire resilience also confer hydrologic resilience through forest-snow processes, and implemented a gradient of forest thinning treatments across which we tracked snowpack response. In thinning treatments, we observed a 30% increase in snowpack storage on north-facing slopes, and a 16% increase in snowpack storage on south-facing slopes, thus indicating that wildfire treatments also support hydrologic processes. Part of the Climate Impacts Group "Our Climate Future" webinar series.  Feat… Event interval: Single day event. Accessibility Contact: cig@uw.edu. Event Types: Lectures/Seminars.
