Meeting Description:

The main focus of the NeuroD-WELL series of workshops is the early development of language in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, or at risk of developing language impairments due to familial risk or other risk factors. It is known that language deficits occur in a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders, as in intellectual disabilities, language disorder, social communication disorder, or autism spectrum disorder, as well as in at-risk groups. However, little is known about early emerging language abilities and their development in these groups of children. We are thus interested in infants’ and toddlers’ language perception and learning abilities during the first years of life, and how they relate to language abilities in low risk, typically development peers, as well as to later language outcomes.

NeuroD-WELL aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working on language development and neurodevelopmental disorders, from a multidisciplinary perspective (Clinical Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Linguistics, Neurolinguistics, Psycholinguistics, Psychiatry, Psychology, Speech and Hearing Sciences, Speech Therapy, among others).

The preliminary program of NeuroD-WELL is now available at https://labfon.letras.ulisboa.pt/NeuroD-WELL3/program.html
It includes two keynotes by Thierry Nazzi (Université de Paris) and Julien Mayor (University of Oslo), two oral sessions, a special session on the Perception-Production Link in Early Infancy, and a poster session.
