The School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences is concerned with the study of human development throughout the life span, including normal perceptual, cognitive, linguistic, emotional, social, and physiological processes, as well as individual differences in these processes.

The School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences is housed in Green Hall on the main campus of The University of Texas at Dallas and in the Callier Center for Communication Disorders. Green Hall contains numerous laboratories and observation rooms for research on perception, memory, psycholinguistics, and social interaction, as well as extensive neuroscience facilities.

The Callier Center for Communication Disorders, with locations both on the UTD campus and in downtown Dallas, houses sophisticated clinical and neuroscience facilities for research in the communication sciences and disorders. The Callier Center provides excellent opportunities for study of a broad range of communication disorders. Outpatient clinics for persons having speech, language, and hearing disorders provide more than 75,000 patient visits per year. Infant and preschool programs serve over 300 hearing, hearing-impaired, and language-impaired children. Students also participate in research at the nearby University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and at area hospitals, clinics and rehabilitation facilities.

The Center for BrainHealth®, both its own facility and part of the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, is located in downtown Dallas. The Center works through research and clinical treatment programs to understand the brain’s ability to restore or protect healthy brain function, protect the brain from unnecessary mental decline, and heal the brain through treatments that regenerate brain function.

The Center for Children and Families, housed in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, will promote optimal child development by enhancing research, practice and outreach. The center offers an array of clinical and community outreach activities, organized around three initiatives: parenting healthy families, strengthening interpersonal relationships and enhancing thinking and learning.

The Center for Vital Longevity is a research center focused on understanding and expanding the capacity of the aging mind. Center researchers use cutting edge brain imaging technologies and advances in cognitive science to understand (a) how the brain changes from young to old adulthood; (b) the consequences of neural aging for everyday function; and (c) what interventions show promise for slowing cognitive aging.
