Laurence B. Leonard's work focuses on how children acquire language, especially children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD, formerly called specific language impairment), a condition where children have unexpected difficulty learning to understand or use spoken language despite typical hearing and general cognitive abilities. His research examines grammatical development, such as verb and noun word-endings, across multiple languages including English, Spanish, and Turkish, and explores how findings can inform speech-language assessment and intervention.
Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a notable peak in 2021 followed by lower output in 2022-2023 and a partial rebound in 2024.
