Associate Professor
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Dr. Laura Mattie (formerly Hahn) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Speech & Hearing Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Mattie’s research focuses on characterizing the emerging communicative and social phenotypes of individuals with neurogenetic disabilities, and the potential cascading effects of early developmental strengths and weaknesses on later outcomes. The aim of her research is to elucidate early developmental patterns and document the developmental trajectory of skills that improve communication outcomes for individuals with neurogenetic disabilities. This will lead to the identification of treatment targets and strategies for early intervention, which will promote well-being and positive development.
