Abstract

On January 30, 2025, Prof. Carmit Altman was honored with an invitation to the UK House of Lords for the official launch of the “Think Language First” initiative. The event, led by Prof. Maria Arche and Prof. Alex Perovic, brought together global experts in early childhood language development. 

Prof. Altman, recognized internationally for her expertise in both typical and atypical language acquisition in children, addressed the committee and emphasized the universal nature of psycholinguistic and cultural challenges faced in early childhood. Welcomed by Lord Boateng, a prominent supporter of the initiative, Prof. Altman underscored the importance of global collaboration, noting that Israel too grapples with similar issues. Her participation marked a meaningful step toward building international partnerships and advancing a shared commitment to early childhood language development.
