I work as a researcher and lecturer at the department of logopedics, phonatrics and audiology at Lund University. I am a Dr.Med.Sc. (Ph.D.) in the field of audiology. Read more here. 

I have 15 years of experience from research in the field of audiology. My work has primarily focused on children of varying degrees and type of hearing loss and their cognitive, communicative and linguistic development.

In recent years, I have more and more begun to be interested in various aspects of well-being and health. More and more studies show that an important success factor for children with hearing impairment is family involvement (Ching et al., 2013) There are also research indicating that the more support parents get, the better the children with hearing impairment develops (Hintermair, 2013). There is thus a link between the parents' lifestyle, thoughts and behaviors and the well-being and development of the children. I will talk about this and much more at the Nordisk skolledarkonferens 11-12 October 2017.
