1. Sounds of silence : Phonological awareness and written language in children with and without speech
Sammanfattning : Avhandlingens övergripande syfte var att undersöka fonologisk medvetenhet och skriftspråklig förmåga hos talande eller icke-talande barn, med lässvårigheter eller motoriska talsvårigheter. De huvudsakliga fynden i denna avhandling var: (1) För barn med lässvårigheter som befinner sig på en tidig nivå i sin läsutveckling bör intervention kring läs- och skrivförmågor fokusera på barnets svaghet snarare än styrkan vad gäller ordavkodning.

4. Exploring childhood apraxia of speech : speech and language profiles in 5-year-olds with suspected apraxia of speech or cleft palate
Sammanfattning : Introduction and aims: Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a speech sound disorder (SSD) lacking a quantifiable measure discriminating all cases of CAS from other SSDs. This project aimed at exploring CAS using different perspectives when examining speech and language difficulties commonly seen in 5-year-old children with suspected CAS or children with repaired cleft palate (CP±L).

5. Development of working memory, speech perception and auditory temporal resolution in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and language impairment
Sammanfattning : Speech perception (SP), verbal working memory (WM) and auditory temporal resolution (ATR) have been studied in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and language impairment (LI), as well as in reference groups of typically developed children. A computerised method was developed, in which discrimination of same or different pairs of stimuli was tested. LÄS MER
