About
Maria Teresa Guasti is a leading figure in developmental psycholinguistics, whose work bridges language acquisition, language disorders, and technology-enhanced intervention. Her research primarily explores how children acquire syntax, morphology, and semantics, with a particular focus on Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). A major contribution is her pioneering work on the design of technology-based therapeutic activities for children with language impairments, as exemplified in her highly cited 2021 paper (26 citations), which proposes a psycholinguistic-driven framework to overcome barriers in traditional speech-language therapy. This work has shaped how clinicians and researchers integrate digital tools into evidence-based interventions. With a career spanning decades, Guasti has authored seminal texts and numerous papers that collectively have garnered thousands of citations, influencing both theoretical models of language development and practical therapeutic approaches. Her notable achievements include advancing our understanding of the interplay between linguistic theory and clinical application, making her a key resource for students and researchers interested in how children learn language and how to support those who struggle.
