Tutkimuksessa on saatu uutta tietoa alkoholin varhaisista vaikutuksista sikiöön. Se voi muuttaa geenien toimintaa alkion kehityksen aikana ja aiheuttaa häiriöitä erityisesti hermoston kehityksessä. @kaminenahola @AuvinenPauliina #FASD #epigenetiikka

Pienenkin lapsen kanssa kannattaa keskustella digisisällöistä, sillä se voi tukea lapsen kielellistä kehitystä. @riimusto @helsinkiuni https://t.co/Kwdh8wr3Hu

@logopida Good points, and it's good to remember that screen time is just one piece explaining language dev. Genes and other environmental factors like reading, singing, birth order etc. affect language development too. But if language dev. is delayed, it is important that we have evidence

Tänään jatkuu logopedian avoin luentosarja: dosentti Seija Pekkala kertoo rikostaustaisten nuorten puheen, kielen ja kommunikaation erityispiirteistä. #logopedia @HYPsykoLogo Tervetuloa!

[Riikka Mustonen @riimusto]

@logopida @StoltSuvi @Children_MDPI @MDPIOpenAccess @helsinkiuni Thank you for the kind words @logopida! I agree that different types of usage, and the content of screen time (which we didn't examine this time), for example, may have different effects on language skills. Need more research!

1 in 14 people have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), a type of neurodiversity like autism, ADHD and dyslexia.

DLD starts in childhood, but doesn’t go away. It's about 'Growing with DLD'. Support #DLDday this Fri the 14th Oct.
