The CLS is an interdisciplinary conference attracting a diverse audience
of among others psychologists, linguists and speech and language
therapists, and provides a forum for research on first and second
language acquisition in typically and atypically developing children. It
was first held in 1977, so in 2007 it will be the 30th Anniversary of the
CLS. <br><br>
The University of Reading is one of the top 20 most research-intensive
universities in the UK, and has a long tradition of research in language
development. The School of Psychology & Clinical Language Science was
established in 2005 when the Clinical Linguistics section moved to the
School of Psychology. The School is set on one of the most beautiful
campuses in the UK, with 320 acres of landscaped grounds surrounded by
green open spaces, lakes and wildlife. <br>
<br>
Reading is the county town of the Royal County of Berkshire and is

Heathrow airport via frequent bus service to Reading station, and 75
minutes to Gatwick airport through a direct rail connection) and by rail
(25 minutes from London Paddington). The M4 motorway provides ready
access to London, Wales and the South West and there is an express coach
service to London which also stops outside the main gate of the
University. <br>
