[Vincent Torrens]

Workshop on Specific Language Impairment

1-3 October 2014

Madrid


Plenary Speaker: Jeannette Schaeffer (Universiteit van Amsterdam)



Call for Papers:

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.
