Learning to speak a minority language at school: Mandarin speech development of children in a Chinese-English bilingual program in Canada
DownloadFall 2023
A key factor of bilingual speech development is speech input. Different from an immigrant setting where children who are learning the majority language as a second language (L2) can receive rich and authentic input, the speech input is usually limited when learning a minority language. For L2...

Epidemiology of Neurodevelopmental Disorders among Indigenous Children: from Global to Métis-specific Contexts
DownloadFall 2022
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) have been found to be more prevalent among Indigenous children. However, it is unclear whether this extends to all Indigenous children from countries with similar colonial histories. In this thesis, we conducted a systematic review to assess the evidence on the...
