Manuela Lavelli is a full professor of Developmental and Educational Psychology at the Department of Human Sciences. Her research program investigates how the quality of caregiver-infant/child interaction, in conjunction with individual and cultural factors, shapes individual developmental trajectories. In particular, her research focuses on: (1) the mutually regulated processes organizing early mother-infant communication, which lay the foundation of infant emotional development; (2) the effects of linguistic input and support provided by caregivers during interactions with young children with atypical or at-risk language development (DLD, CIs, low-income and/or immigrant families) on child language abilities. Her research is published in international journals, some in top-tier journals, and have implications for developing and implementing intervention programs for parents and teachers of children with developmental vulnerabilities. Currently she has active international research partnerships and she coordinates the PhD program in Human Sciences.
