Professor Tanya Gallagher
Professor Gallagher’s research area is social/pragmatic intervention with young children. Her target population is children with social/pragmatic language disorders. These children are not using language in social interactions in age-appropriate ways and experience negative consequences as a result.
The following are some negative indicators:
• Socially isolated
• Overly dependent on adults
• Difficulty initiating peer interactions & entering peer groups
• Participation is disruptive
• Attempts to interact not reciprocated
COMPLEX INTERRELATIONSHIPS
• Language, cognitive, social and/or discourse skills
• Ability to adjust and compensate for component deficits
• Partners’ willingness and ability to adjust and make accommodations for those deficits
The followings are the pragmatic intervention goals for children:
• Multi-level intervention goals
• Strengthen underlying core component deficits that are causal and/or contributing to maintenance of the problem
• Build effective compensatory surface behaviors of the children and their partners
The followings are the methodologies used to achieve pragmatic intervention goals:
• Teach, model & coach following the child’s lead
• Replace problematic behaviors with more socially acceptable alternative behaviors
• Practice within scripted interactions as components of event representations – typical activities
• Utilize guided peer play – support success of all participants and gradually reduce clinician’s role

馬偕聽語系蘇珮甄老師
Dr. Su’s previous research was a study on Myelination of primary cortices and language centers in brain – a comparison of developmental brain with congenitally deaf infants’ brain
The following are the summery of her study.
l This thesis presents the first MRI myelination study on the language system in the normal developing brain.
l Study I: develop a myelination scores for clinical visual assessment.
We found the developing sequence in the language system and most regions except the arcuate fasiculus started myelination after the 8th month and almost matured by the 18th month. There is several months lag behind histology.
l Study II: apply signal intensity methods for quantitative evaluation.
Myelination started from the 4th month, reached near maturity by the 18th month, and there was subtle change continually into adult life. There is no gender or left-right hemisphere difference. Group A (Motor cortex, auditory cortex, and visual cortex) myelinated faster than group B (Broca’s area, Wernicke’s area, angular gyrus) before 1.5 years old. The arcuate fasciculus myelinated the last.
l Study III: apply these data to patients of PMD, Leigh disease, congenital inner ear anomalies and hearing loss.
Myelination may not be the only cause of language development.
The myelination sequence of the language system is not influenced by the lack of hearing stimulation.
三、學者對系上老師建議
系上老師們對於學者的研究都非常有興趣並提出了許多問題，學者們都熱烈地與系上老師討論這些問題並提供老師可查詢的相關文獻。學者對於各個報告的系上老師都給予激賞，並強烈鼓勵老師們繼續做更多更好的研究。IALP在義大利將舉行研討會，學者們積極邀請系上老師投稿並在研討會上報告。劉麗容教授向系上老師們強調多文化跨語言之研究的重要性，並鼓勵系上老師將此納入研究時的考量。系上老師對於香港教育大學鄒教授所發展的評估工具表示興趣，鄒教授也表示願意贈送一份評估工具供系上做參考。學者們都表示非常歡迎日後合作的可能
