Meeting Description:

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.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
