Language Deprivation
Wyatte C. Hall, Ph.D
Dr. Wyatte Hall is research faculty at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He is a proud alumni of Rochester Institute of Technology (B.S. ’08) and Gallaudet University (M.A. ’11 and Ph.D. ’14). His clinical psychology training included the Gallaudet University Mental Health Center, the URMC Deaf Wellness Center, and a clinical fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. After seeing the strong impact of early childhood language experiences on deaf mental health in his clinical work, Dr. Hall did a three-year research fellowship at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He currently explores the impact of early childhood language experiences on health and life outcomes across the lifespan in the deaf population with a particular focus on the phenomenon of language deprivation. He is also a faculty fellow in the UR Office of Equity and Inclusion and supports the Office of Community Engagement in the Wilmot Cancer Institute.
