HyeKyeung Seung, Ph.D., CCC-SLP studies language development of children with autism. She is currently conducting at least three different projects in this area. Refer to the link below: CSUF inside online magazine For details of each research project, please check Language development, Parent support group, and Theory of Mind sections.
Language Development of Children with Autism:
This is an intervention study that focuses
on vocal imitation for children with autism who are close to nonverbal or have limited
word production. Children age between 2 and 10 years old, diagnosed with autism, and saying
fewer than 50 words can participate in the 10-week intervention study. Each child will come
to the Speech, Hearing, and Language clinic at CSUF three times weekly. This intervention
will be provided by Dr. Seung or her research team free of charge.
If you are parents of children with autism and interested in having your child participate
the study, please contact Dr. Seung at (657) 278-7175 or email: hseung@fullerton.edu
Korean Parent Support Group:
This study examines the potential benefits of a monthly support
group for parents who have children with autism. This project began in June 2007 with a dozen
Korean mothers. This project was funded by the Yen Do Research Scholarship, College of
Communication. The meeting is at CSUF every first Saturday at 2:00-4:00pm. Dr. Seung is
planning to begin a second group of Vietnamese parents who have children with autism in a near future.
If you would like to join us, please contact Dr. Seung at (657) 278-7175 or email: hseung@fullerton.edu
