Research Interests:

Dr. Veale has studied the psycholinguistic aspects of language development in learners with language impairment, especially those with autism spectrum disorders, and the impact of considering a child’s learning style when planning intervention. Differential diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders of children with autism, Asperger syndrome, and nonverbal learning disorder are particular interests. She has also researched the effectiveness of auditory integration training for children with autism.

Current research is focused upon the early development of children with Asperger syndrome, and the best methods of detecting this disorder at an early age. Other projects include the development of a language therapy program for early emergent language learners with autism, and the development of a social skills counseling program for individuals with high functioning autism and Asperger syndrome.
