Educational Equality for Children with Developmental Language Disorder. A Study of Goal Attainment, Experience and Participation

The project aims to generate knowledge that can be used to improve the organization of learning activities for children with developmental language disorder (DLD), as well as to improve the experience of school attendance among these children.

Cornea Research

Our research team focuses on understanding the origins of blinding diseases of the cornea, evaluating new pharmacologic, surgical, and regenerative therapies to treat corneal disease.

Clinical Ophthalmic Research

Sight is our most important source of information about the world around us, and is the mind that engages most of the brain. Preserved vision is a basic prerequisite for maintaining one's independence in everyday activities, especially in old age.

Collaboration

Center for dementia research (CEDER)

The research has a focus on the everyday life with dementia. Of special interest is the challenges and the ways persons with dementia and their significant others manage and organize their lives.

News

European investment in research into corneal diseases

Researchers at Linköping University are taking part in the largest European investment to date into diseases of the cornea. The aim is to restore vision in people with severe and rare eye diseases.

Bioengineered cornea can restore sight to the blind and visually impaired

LiU-researchers have developed an implant made of collagen protein from pig’s skin, which resembles the human cornea. In a pilot study, the implant restored vision to 20 people with diseased corneas.

Children’s language skills arise before speech

Seven out of every hundred children do not learn their mother tongue as expected. Christina Reuterskiöld, newly appointed professor of speech and language pathology at Linköping University, is investigating how language develops in children.
