Young children usually understand more words than they can say: a “comprehension–production gap”.

In a new study, we found that children with Williams syndrome (WS) have a unique profile: their gap is significantly reduced compared to other groups. 🧵 #LanguageDevelopment #WilliamsSyndrome #devpsyc

An Interview with Kate Price Associate Research Scientist and author of memoir This Happened To Me: A Reckoning Content warning: This Q&A discusses human trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children.

ate, your memoir This Happened to Me was released last month! Tell us what it’s about. My memoir is about healing and truth. My father sexually abused me from a very young age until he left our family when I was 12. During this time, he also sold me for sex to truckers along a highway that ran near our house in northern Appalachia. I wrote this book to provide a “roadmap” of my healing for anyone affected by trauma, particularly familial child sex trafficking survivors. It’s about how I’ve taken what happened to me and made it my life’s mission to ensure it doesn’t happen to other children.

The book has been featured in The Washington Post and WBUR’s Here and Now. How do you feel now that it’s out in the world? I feel tremendously grateful. When someone tells me that my story allowed them to tell their own story, or that they now better understand the experience of a friend or family member who went through something similar, I feel immense gratitude.

What are you working on next? I’m doing work I’m passionate about: researching the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) by family members, and particularly how it stays hidden. With a better understanding of that, we can equip service providers, child protective services, and law enforcement to respond better to protect children, families, and their communities.

💬 We interviewed newly minted author and Associate Research Scientist Kate Price, a member of our Justice and Gender-Based Violence Research Initiative! She’ll be at @wellesley.edu on Thursday, September 18 to discuss her memoir This Happened to Me: A Reckoning. #nonfiction #booksky #devpsyc #cogsci
