Status<\/h2>\n

\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Mijn naam is Selma Saad Merouwe en ik ben assistent-professor aan het Hoger Instituut voor Spraak- en Taalpathologie aan de Saint-Joseph Universiteit van Beiroet. Momenteel werk ik in het onderzoekslaboratorium van het instituut en geef ik vakken over onder meer vloeiendheidsstoornissen, klinische besluitvorming bij vloeiendheidsstoornissen en onderzoeksmethoden (inleiding tot onderzoek in de logopedie, wetenschappelijk lezen en kritische beoordeling). Naast mijn academische werk ben ik een praktiserend logopedist met 19 jaar klinische ervaring, waarbij ik me vooral richt op stotteren, broddelen en taalstoornissen.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Onderzoek<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Mijn onderzoek richt zich op stotteren in meertalige contexten, met de nadruk op hoe talige en contextuele factoren de spreekvaardigheid in verschillende talen be\u00efnvloeden. Ik wil begrijpen hoe variaties in taalgebruik en taalvaardigheid de manifestatie en perceptie van onvloeiendheid be\u00efnvloeden bij zowel personen die wel als personen die niet stotteren. Door middel van macro- en microlingu\u00efstische analyses wil ik ons begrip van stotteren in talig diverse populaties verdiepen en de ontwikkeling ondersteunen van diagnostische en therapeutische werkwijzen die empirisch onderbouwd zijn en rekening houden met de meertalige realiteit.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Achtergrondinformatie<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Ik heb mijn bachelor (2006) en master in onderzoek<\/strong> (2015) in logopedie behaald aan de Saint-Joseph Universiteit van Beiroet. In 2018 ben ik gecertificeerd Europees stotterspecialist<\/strong> geworden via het European Stuttering Specialization-programma. Ik heb een doctoraat (2024) in sociale en gedragswetenschappen behaald aan de Universiteit van Turku (Finland) en in biologische en medische wetenschappen aan de Saint-Joseph University.<\/strong> Momenteel ben ik hoofd van de Stottercommissie van de Libanese Vereniging van Logopedisten, lid van de Praktijkcommissie van de World Stuttering and Cluttering Organization en vertegenwoordiger van Libanon in de International Cluttering Association. Mijn moedertalen zijn Slowaaks, Frans, Libanees Arabisch en Modern Standaard Arabisch, met daarnaast een hoge professionele taalvaardigheid in het Engels en basiskennis van het Italiaans.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”grid ingrid mobonly”][vc_column_inner el_class=”centered”][vc_btn title=”Terug naar overzicht” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fsrg.ugent.be%2Fnl%2Fabout-us%2F|title:About%20us|”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
