SLI and other developmental disorders (with a special reference to Developmental Dyslexia)

Stavroula Stavrakaki

This course aims at providing a comparative approach to Specific Language Impairment (SLI) by presenting current studies that adopt a comparative perspective on SLI and other (neuro)developmental disorders, in particular, genetic syndromes of mental retardation (Williams syndrome and Down’s Syndrome) and Developmental Dyslexia (DD). The main focus of the course concerns current discussions on the characterization of the deficits in SLI and DD and the overlap between these disorders.
