Prior to joining NICHD, Dr. Salo was a Society for Research in Child Development/American Association for the Advancement of Science Federal Executive Branch Policy Fellow. Her research examined how caregiver–child interactions develop and predict individual differences in children’s social-cognitive and language development, with a focus on preverbal infant communication, neural mechanisms supporting language development, and identification of modifiable targets for intervention.
