will be language and communication disorders in children subsequent to
polytraumatic lesions, Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (acquired epileptic
aphasia), brain malformations, very early brain lesions, and surgical
treatment of brain tumor. Further, contributions will discuss the
neurobiological basis of language rehabilitation and long term effects
of childhood aphasia.  World leading scientists on the topic will
present their contributions.
