Description

NDD-L are Neurodevelopmental Disorders that affect about 10-18% of children. Communication is an essential skill, but children with NDD-L have problems with speech or text clarity, comprehension, or expression, which can deeply influence a child’s learning, confidence, and relationships. Timely screening is therefore essential to enable targeted interventions during critical periods of neural and linguistic development. This project proposes the development of e-health tools to transform traditional screening procedures into engaging, child-friendly experiences while collecting clinically relevant data that can be useful for the identification of new features for the early screening in ecological condition of children at risk.
