Biography

Charlotta Plejert is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University specializing in the study of communicative impairments among children and adults. Her research focuses on speech and language impairments, including specific language impairment (SLI), acquired aphasia, and Augmented Alternative Communication (AAC). She aims to identify recurrent patterns and practices relevant to individuals with communicative impairments and their relatives, striving to enhance quality of life irrespective of the challenges posed by their conditions.
