Emily Harrington, M.S., CCC-SLP is a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois with an expected graduation date of May 2025. Her research aims to develop and evaluate early interventions (EI) for toddlers at-risk for language disorders. Specifically, she is interested in exploring how brief interventions could increase access to EI supports for these children and their families. Her clinical experience as an EI speech-language pathologist (SLP) has informed her research and allowed her to connect with aspiring SLPs in the classroom and practicing SLPs in the field.
