- Our article on intervention factors associated with comprehension intervention efficacy has had over 1000 views, yay! Have you read it yet? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
- I defended my doctoral dissertation 'Oral language comprehension interventions for children with or at risk for (Developmental) Language Disorder and factors associated with their efficacy' on 21.11. at the University of Helsinki. The dissertation can be read here: helda.helsinki.fi/items/182927...
- I hope that the results of this work will provide support for choosing appropriate intervention methods and provide considerations for the development of clinical work that speech and language therapists constantly do.

- Oral language comprehension skills of children with or at risk for (D)LD can be supported. Age was not associated with efficacy, indicating that 2–13-year-old children can benefit from comprehension interventions regardless of their age. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- Interventions targeting language processing, such as auditory processing or automatization, indicated no clinically significant efficacy, whereas targeting language, language environment, or teaching compensatory strategies indicated efficacy. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
