The conference program will include keynote lectures, oral presentations, posters, and thematic discussions focused on the development and application of diagnostic and research tools in multilingual contexts. The central focus of the conference will be on understanding the language development of bilingual and multilingual children with developmental language disorder (DLD), as well as on developing reliable methods for distinguishing language difficulties from language differences in multilingual environments. The conference will feature distinguished invited speakers: Cécile De Cat (University of Leeds) Nataša Pantić (University of Edinburgh) Ana Werkmann Horvat (University of Osijek) Sharon Armon-Lotem (Bar-Ilan University) Their presentations will address topics such as the assessment of language difficulties in multilingual settings, educational policies for diverse learners, semantic and pragmatic processing in bilingualism, and the development and application of LITMUS tools. By organizing this conference, the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Zagreb further confirms its active role in the international scientific community and its contribution to the advancement of research and practice in the fields of speech and language therapy and language sciences.
