 Jon Miller has conducted research on language development and disorders for more than 30 years as a faculty member in the Department of Communicative Disorders and as an investigator in the Waisman Mental Retardation Research Center. A decade of research on Down syndrome resulted in the book: Improving the Communication Skills of People with Down Syndrome, a research to practice volume. A career long focus on developing improved measurement systems has evolved computer software for the Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts: SALT, widely used in research and clinical settings for language sample analysis. His current research involves documenting the development of English language narrative skills in bilingual children, K - 3rd grade, as part of a national program of research whose aim is to account for the variability in literacy development in English Language Learners whose first language is Spanish. He initiated the Symposium on Research in Child Language Disorders in 1980 to promote research, provide a forum for research development among scholars nationally and internationally, and promote research careers for students at all levels of training. The 2004 meeting will mark the 25th anniversary of this NIH supported conference.
