Center for the Study of Communication & the Deaf
The Center for the Study of Communication & the Deaf (CSCD) at BU Wheelock College of Education & Human Development is devoted to both applied and theoretical research related to the development of language, literacy, cognition, and social-emotional skills in deaf individuals. Faculty and students have focused on three major research themes: the acquisition of signed languages, the impact of language on the education of deaf children, and the developmental assessment of bilingual approaches to the education of deaf children.
CSCD has overseen the creation of assessment instruments to determine American Sign Language (ASL) development in deaf children. Additional research interests of the center are the languages (ASL and English), family structure, the educational systems, and the social service networks of deaf children and adults.
