Professor

Professor of Communication Sciences & Disorders/Speech-Language Pathology. My work focuses on oral and written language skills in children with and without developmental disorders.

Focus on developmental language disorder in children

My research focuses on developmental language disorder in children. My main interest is the influence of non-linguistic and linguistic context on language processing and production.

My studies have also included children with autism, children with hearing impairment and children with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome. I am certified as a Speech Language Pathologist by the American Speech Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) and the Swedish Board of Social Care. After almost two decades in the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders at New York University, I joined colleagues at Linköping University in 2021.

Precursors of Intentional Communication Skills in Children

The project aims to create a checklist for parents, identify early communicative behaviors in young children up to one year of age, and examine their connection to later linguistic and communicative abilities.

Swedish-speaking children with developmental language disorder in comparison with second language learners

The focus of this project is language processing in children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and bilingual children learning Swedish as their second language (L2). They are similarly challenged by Swedish grammar.
