About me
- Associate professor. Teaches and conducts research concerning children's
speech and language disorders.
Assistant professor since January 2019 at the Division of Speech and
Language Pathology, Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and
Technology at the Karolinska Institutet (KI).
Earned her doctoral degree in April 2014 at the Royal Institute of
Technology, Stockholm (KTH), with a thesis focusing on perceptual
consequences of misarticulated speech in children – how these children’s
speech are perceived by adult listeners and by the children themselves. Apart
from her M.Sc degree in SLP (Lund, 2007), Sofia also has a M.Sc degree in
computational linguistics (Uppsala, 2000).
Research
- One focus in Sofia’s research is on the perception of pathological (or
otherwise non-typical) speech – how speech is perceived by the speakers
themselves, as well as by other listeners. An additional research focus are
the communicative consequences of producing misarticulated speech,
particularly with regards to intelligibility. This was the focus of the
project Functional consequences of misarticulation in children's continuous
speech [1].
Recently, Sofia has broadened her interest to cover also developmental
language disorders in preschool-aged children. Specifically, she's interested
in everyday consequences of having a speech and/or language disorder, for
example in terms of communicative participation. Her research also involves
the study of how speech/language intervention affect children's language
functioning and communication in daily life. These are central topics of the
project SPETS [2] (project web page in Swedish).
