Research

  • *Research interests*
    Speech and language development in children with neurological disabilities
    such as Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome and Intellectual Disability
    Treatment of speech and language disorders in children with Cerebral Palsy
    Babbling as a predictor of speech and language difficulties in children.
    *Speech and language difficulties in children with Down syndrome, Cerebral
    Palsy and Intellectual Disability*
    Children with neurological disabilities present with an increased risk for
    severe and long-lasting speech and language difficulties. In my PhD project I
    examine speech and language development in a group of children with Down
    syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and Intellectual disability from 1 through 7 years
    of age.
    *Babbling as a predictor of speech and language difficulties in children*
    Earlier research has shown that studying the babbling of children might
    inform on their later speech and language development. In order to properly
    investigate this, reliable and relevant methods are needed. In my PhD
    project, the validity of different babbling measures is evaluated.
    *Treatment for young children with Cerebral Palsy and speech and language
    difficulties*
    Despite the fact that speech and language difficulties are common in children
    with Cerebral palsy, there are few studies that evaluate treatment for young
    children in this patient group. In my PhD project, I evaluate a
    parent-implemented treatment for increasing vocabulary in children with
    Cerebral palsy aged 2-4 years of age.

Teaching

  • *Teaching areas*
    Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
    Pediatric speech and language disorders, especially disorders associated with
    neurological disabilities
    Early disorders of feeding, babbling and communication
    I teach at several different courses on the Speech-Language Pathology
    Program, with a special responsibility for the students’ training in AAC. I
    am the course coordinator of /Early disorders of feeding, babbling and
    communication/.
