OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Studies show that children who have poor language skills at school entry are at an increased risk of a whole host of negative outcomes in terms of educational attainment, life satisfaction and mental health. However, such outcomes are not inevitable. Our research combines genetic and behavioural modelling in large population samples to try and understand mechanisms of resilience in children with developmental language disorders. In this session, I will introduce some of the genetic modelling methods that we use and discuss how these can be incorporated into behavioural models to answer questions about developmental trajectories.
