What we do
About our project
Our motivation for this research.
Knowledge improvement – the results will support evidence based policy making to decrease social inequalities.
Our aim
This project will examine the influence of social inequality on children’s language development and its implications throughout their development. In addition, the mechanisms that play a role are investigated both in the general population and in clinical groups.
A specific question is whether these mechanisms operate in a similar way for clinical groups (children with language impairment, hearing impairment and children with socio-emotional problems) as they do in the population as a whole
