Narrative Summary

Since founding the Applied Language and Speech Sciences PhD Program at UL Lafayette in 2001, Oller's work has focused on communication disorders testing theories of representational systems from genetics to human language. His research has concentrated on the measurement of linguistic processes in education, high stakes testing, the diagnosis of disorders, the success of social interactions (see the work in Discourse Processes 2005), and more recently on successful communications on which our biochemistry and health depend. He is the first author of Cases: Introducing Communication Disorders Across the Life Span (Plural Publishing, 2010), Autism: the Diagnosis, Treatment, & Etiology of the Undeniable Epidemic (Jones & Bartlett parent company to Allied Health, 2010), and of Milestones: Normal Speech and Language Development Across the Life Span (Plural Publishing, 2006). Royalties from the Autism book go to autism research and treatment at Thoughtful House in Austin, Texas. Oller has shown theoretically and empirically that development in early childhood, from the womb forward, advances through critical milestones more rapidly than thought possible by earlier scholars. Video from Dr. Stuart Campbell (Create Health Clinic in London) shows that unborn babies take steps, scratch, jump, and do many things in the first trimester of fetal development that were formerly thought to be reserved to post-birth activities. Live video of babies after birth, from Dr. Robert J. Titzer, shows that they can read words and demonstrate comprehension before being able to say the words aloud -- all this well before the first birthday.

Advances include reclassification of communication disorders across the board on a more comprehensive, simpler, and more consistent basis. TheAutism project goes to the heart of causation and treatment of the on-going epidemic.Oller is a regular reviewer for commercial publishers, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Education, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and for scholarly journals in linguistics, measurement, language teaching, psychology, disorders, and communication. He has appeared on nationally syndicated television and radio programs. After completing his Ph.D. on child language at the University of Rochester in New York on an NDEA Fellowship in 1969 Oller joined the faculty at UCLA where he was accelerated to tenure and an Associate Professorship in 1971. He founded and became Chair of the Linguistics Department at the University of New Mexico in 1972; was a member of the Examiner's Committee for theTest of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) 1971-1976; received the MLA Mildenberger Medal in 1984, an award also granted to his Ph.D. students (Krashen and Richard-Amato); has lectured in England, Denmark, Spain, Germany, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Mexico, Quebec, Cyprus, and Canada. He has mentored 43 doctoral dissertations, served on 84 doctoral dissertations, and has published with 89 students and faculty colleagues. His doctoral students occupy positions of distinction at UCLA (Butler), University of Southern California (Krashen), Chulalongkorn University Language Institute (Prapphal), Chung Ang University in Seoul (Kim), Essen in Germany (Stevenson), University of Louisiana (Damico), the University of Georgia (Chen), the University of Misericordia in Pittsburgh (Yan).
