Child Language Data Exchange System (CLDS)

The Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES) is a digital platform that collects and shares recordings and transcripts of children's spoken language. Researchers and clinicians use it to study how children develop language skills over time. By providing a large database of real-life language data from children of different ages, CHILDES helps improve understanding of typical and atypical language development, ultimately supporting better assessment and intervention strategies. It promotes collaboration and advances research by making valuable language data accessible to the global community.
