A Diverse Team is a Strong Team

Our team brings together experts in language, education and speech language pathology.

She initiated and led a European Cooperation in Science and Technology network (COST Action IS0804 – add link) that put the study of DLD among children of diverse linguistic backgrounds on the map and made it possible to identify markers of DLD that are valid crosslinguistically.

She is an expert in narrative development in bilingual and monolingual children and adults. Her research, funded by the Israel Science Foundation and the Ministry of Education, enables to recognize linguistic features that distinguish children with typical development and children with Developmental Language Disorder. Her synergetic relations enable joint collaborations with the Ministry of Education.
