Professor, Director of the Child Language Research Center
Speech and language therapy, Child language research, Language disorders
I have conducted research on typical speech and language acquisition with the aim of verifying language-specific aspects through cross-linguistic comparisons. Besides typical acquisition, my research has comprised two main clinical groups, namely children with specific language impairment and children with hearing impairment. I have also been a member of the management committee of three international researcher networks (COST actions A33, IS0804, IS1406) and a member of the International Expert Panel on Multilingual Children’s Speech.
