Marleen Westerveld

I am a certified practising speech pathologist and researcher in child language and literacy. My main interests relate to children's spontaneous language performance (conversation, story retell, explanations, and persuasion) and children’s (emergent) literacy development. The main aims of my website are to provide you with: 1) access to free resources I created as part of my research – from language sampling elicitation protocols to evidence-based intervention programs; and 2) links to other websites featuring evidence-based practice tools and free resources. Follow me on Instagram for updates to the website including new resources and publications and project updates @dr.marleenwesterveld.slp Marleen Westerveld, PhD, CPSP
