This study explored how natural play between parents and infants supports early speech development. By observing real, unstructured play sessions, the goal was to better understand how caregivers use gestures and speech to guide language learning.

I helped set up the environment and organized toys and materials to keep sessions smooth and consistent. I transcribed and coded video recordings using Datavyu, tracking both gestures and speech patterns. I also reviewed participant eligibility, and worked with the research team to cross-check data and ensure accuracy across the study.
