Episode 25: Building the Social Foundations of Language

In this episode of NDBI Navigator Narratives, Dr. Jamie sits down with Dr. Pamela Rollins, professor at UT Dallas and a leading voice in developmental language research, for a powerful conversation on the social foundations of language development. Drawing on over 40 years of research and clinical experience, Dr. Rollins reminds us that language cannot develop in isolation—it must be built on social engagement, reciprocity, and joint attention.
