The first article of my dissertation is a systematic scoping review on oral language comprehension interventions for 1-8-year-old children with (developmental) language disorder or language difficulties. It is open access and can be found here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

The second article of my dissertation is a systematic scoping review on oral language comprehension interventions for school-age children and adolescents with #DevLangDis. It is open access and can be found here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

To inform colleagues on evidence-based interventions for supporting oral comprehension, I give webinars based on our research. Info on the webinars can be found here: www.takingturns.eu/courses/ .

The literature reviews conducted together with my supervisors Suvi Stolt & Kaisa Launonen indicated large variation in the efficacy of comprehension interventions. The reasons for this variation are largely unknown.
The intervention factors associated with efficacy is the topic of my third article.
