Suzanne M. Adlof, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of South Carolina where she teaches graduate courses on language and literacy and directs the SC Research on Language and Literacy Lab (SCROLL Lab).

The long-term goals of this research are to improve the identification and treatment of language and learning difficulties and to promote positive outcomes in all children. This research has been supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Institute for Education Sciences, the American Speech-Language Hearing Foundation, and the Central Carolina Community Foundation. Dr. Adlof currently serves as an Editor for the journal Language Speech and Hearing Services in Schools, and as a member of the Governing Board for the IES Regional Education Laboratory Southeast.
