Logan Pelfrey

Logan currently manages the Longitudinal Peer Social Networks and Early Language Development (LYLE) and Promoting Equitable Engagement and Relationships through Speech (PEERS) projects. These studies broadly explore how preschool classroom social networks evolve over time using state of the art sensing systems to collect continuous proximity and language environment data with children and teachers throughout the school year. In addition, the PEERS project includes the development and testing of a play-based peer-mediated intervention designed to maximize language input from peers for children with delays in their language development. 

Previous projects that Logan has been involved in include Read It Again In Special Education, which tested the efficacy of the Read It Again PreK curriculum in special education classrooms, and Read It Again Mobile, which partnered with preschool teachers to adapt the Read It Again PreK curricular supplement into a mobile application. Logan is a doctoral student in the college of Education and Human Ecology. His research interests include the integration of technology into preschool settings, and exploring the ways children develop through play.
