Накратко на български
Развиващото се езиково нарушение (DLD) се изследва чрез анализ на рискови фактори и създаване на алгоритъм за ранно откриване при деца. Това помага за по-бърза диагностика и подходяща подкрепа, за да се подобрят успехът в училище и социалният живот на засегнатите.

Developmental Language Disorder - Prevention and Intervention
Language is the foundation for individual and societal well-being. Although many children learn language effortlessly, two out of 30 students in a classroom struggle with language development without a known biomedical cause. This condition is known as developmental language disorder (DLD). DLD affects 5.8 million children across Europe and has long-term detrimental effects on academic performance, social-emotional well-being, and employment opportunities for those affected. In addition to the individuals with DLD, their families and society are burdened by these challenges, which are unfairly distributed as many of those with DLD come from disadvantaged backgrounds. This raises public health concerns and hence invokes public health/preventative intervention models. Despite the public health concerns and long-term adverse consequences associated with DLD, it remains an unstudied and relatively unknown disorder. It is urgent that we develop more sensitive diagnostic tools and preventative interventions for individuals with DLD. By using the Finnish Birth Cohorts 1987 and 1997, DLD-Prevention and Intervention (DLD-PI) aims to identify important risk and protective factors for DLD, develop a risk prediction algorithm for identifying preschoolers at risk of DLD, and determine significant risk and protective factors associated with life outcomes. DLD-PI serves the key objectives of Horizon 2020: excellent science and tackling societal challenges. DLD-PI aims to have a wide impact as they enable better prediction of individual trajectories and outcomes of DLD. In addition to raising public awareness of DLD, this proposal is expected to maximize efficiency in targeting and timing preventative interventions for DLD, affecting multiple stakeholders (clinicians, educators, and the public).

Цел на проекта
Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a public health concern affecting millions of children across Europe. Still, the basis for efficacious preventative interventions for it are largely unknown. To fill this gap, we must: 1) investigate mutable and least-mutable risk and protective factors for DLD, 2) develop prediction tools based on them, and 3) investigate risk and protective factors that are associated with the severity of outcomes of DLD. DLD prevention and intervention (DLD-PI) aims to tackle these questions by using high-quality, large-scale registry data available in Finland. The research will be conducted through multidisciplinary, inter-sectoral, and international collaboration with the universities of Turku and Oulu, the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, Helsinki University Hospital, and Newcastle University, UK. Piloting has already begun with the 1987 and 1997 Finnish Birth Cohorts. These findings will be validated in a new open-access generic cohort with an unprecedented number of variables from different registers, including an expected 150,000 children with DLD out of almost 2 million children. The results of DLD-PI will have wide impact because they enable better prediction of individual trajectories of DLD. With the ultimate aim of providing a tool to use in predicting DLD, this knowledge will enable more efficient targeting and timing of preventative interventions. The results will be essential, generalizable, and advance the field of research for other developmental and learning difficulties as well. They will also be disseminated and communicated accordingly. DLD-PI adds significantly to both research in the European Research Area and the priorities of Horizon 2020. The fellow already has extensive experience in DLD research and its methodology, and the two-way knowledge transfer will prepare her to conduct and lead future epidemiological studies in a field critically lacking specialists.
