Neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and autism can impact various
aspects of language and communication, for instance, language
processing, conversational abilities, and the acquisition of first and
additional languages. This 1-day conference aims to bring together
researchers from various disciplines – psycholinguistics, clinical
linguistics, applied linguistics, clinical psychology, special needs
education, and more – who are exploring the intersection of
communication and neurodiversity in children or adults. Keynote
lectures will be held by Prof. Wenche Andersen Helland, University of
Bergen, and Dr. Kirsten Abbot-Smith, University of Kent.
We welcome contributions investigating how ADHD, autism, and other
neurodevelopmental conditions and related symptomatologies relate to:
 - Pragmatics
 - Conversational abilities
 - Language processing
 - Reading
 - First and second language acquisition and use
 - Bilingualism/ multilingualism
Related topics will also be considered. Studies using either
quantitative or qualitative methodologies are welcome.
Submission guidelines: The event will include both oral presentations
and a poster session. Abstracts should be written in English and not
exceed 500 words. Submissions can be made using the following form:

Organization: The conference is organized by Dr. Franziska Köder and
Dr. Marianna Kyriacou, University of Oslo. It is the closing
conference of the project “The role of attention in communication”
(AttCom), funded by the Research Council of Norway.
