CV Research Clinic I am a postdoctoral fellow with Penn State's Child Maltreatment Solutions Network . My research focuses on language acquisition and the risk for developmental language disorders when children are exposed to adversity and maltreatment. My previous training focused on diagnostic decision-making and specific language impairment across the lifespan from toddlerhood through adulthood. Now, I address this research intersection through an interdisciplinary, biopsychosocial, and genetically-informed framework to investigate how: 1) individuals with developmental language disorders are at heightened risk for adversity and maltreatment exposure, and 2) individuals exposed to adversity and maltreatment are at heightened risk for developmental language disorders.

My doctoral training means that my clinical practice is cutting-edge and includes the latest research on developmental language disorder & dyslexia testing and therapy. At the heart of my clinical practice, I aim to connect with each individual student, help them see their true potential, re-engage them in learning, and create the buy-in necessary for long-term success. I enjoy working with clients, their parents, and professional team to remove barriers and implement individualized strategies for everyday social and academic success. ​ Training & Credentials: University of Kansas, Ph.D. in Child Language (2021) Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (2014) Rush University, M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology (2013) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, B.S. in Speech & Hearing Sciences (2011) ​ In-Network with: BCBS ​ Practice Contact Information: email: claire@claireselin.com phone: (913)428-0610 fax: (913)498-9648
