Short description of research profile

The main goal of the collaboration is to deepen knowledge about speech development disorders, particularly DLD and bilingualism, in the context of different cultural and linguistic environments.

The scope of the collaboration  includes the development of joint research projects, but also, as an interdisciplinary initiative, the exchange of experience between specialists in the context of speech disorders and bilingualism. Our goal is also to create shared diagnostic tools adapted to different languages and cultures, which will enable inter- and cross-cultural research.
