*CLS Venue:*

The CLS 2013 will be hosted by the Language Development and Disorders 
Research Group in the School of Psychological Sciences at The University of 
Manchester. The University of Manchester is the UK’s largest single-site 
University. As an internationally recognised research-led institution, our 
teaching and learning programmes are informed by the latest research 
findings delivered by staff at the leading edge of their fields.

The Language Development and Disorders Research Group is a 
multidisciplinary team of researchers working to develop our understanding 
of the factors, processes and mechanisms involved in successful language 
learning and in speech and language disorders. The research interests of 
the group focus on four main themes: Typically developing children’s early 
language development and the linguistic environment, specific language 
impairment (SLI), social communication and pragmatics intervention 
research, phonological representations and developmental speech disorders.

*Manchester:*

Manchester is a vibrant, cosmopolitan, culturally diverse city. It is 
notable for its sport, museums, galleries, theatres, music scene and 
shopping, offering something for everyone. Manchester is easily accessible 
by train (just 2 hours from London). There are direct flights from 
Manchester International Airport to all major European cities, and many 
long-haul flights are also available from Manchester.

*Accommodation:*

There are many excellent places to stay in Manchester and good public 
transport links to and from the University. We are asking delegates to book 
their own conference accommodation. We have managed to secure preferential
