Meeting Description:
Workshop on Specific Language Impairment
1-3 October 2014
Madrid
Plenary Speaker: Jeannette Schaeffer
(Universiteit van Amsterdam)
Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is a
disorder characterized by slow language
development, without other cognitive or
neurological deficits. This workshop intends to
discuss different topics about the diagnosis
and causes of Specific Language Impairment. One
of the goals of the workshop is to supply the
phonological, lexical, morphosyntactic or
pragmatic abilities of children with SLI. A
main problem in SLI is to provide a
differential diagnosis which can distinguish
SLI from other syndromes like autism, receptive
language disorder or attention deficit
disorder. In fact, so far the criteria to
diagnose SLI has been mainly by exclusion. In
addition, another topic that it’s going to be
included is the causes of SLI: genetic,
environmental, linguistic difficulties,
cognitive factors, learning disabilities. We
also encourage new findings after applying
methodologies like event related potentials,
fMRI, eye tracking or MEG.
