Bakgrund

Research interests focus on language and communication, developmental aspects as well as adult communication. Of particular interest are disabilities affecting language and communication. This field of research includes deaf children, nonspeaking children with cerebral palsy, children with autism and children with intellectual disabilities. Perceptual and cognitive functions are investigated, as well as the communication between persons with disabilities and ablebodied persons.
