The research in this knowledge field analyzes interplay between actors (children, pedagogues, physical artefacts) with different special and social contexts (classroom, sandbox) in different communicative activities (free play, driving lessons).

A study investigating the ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) can contribute to students' reading. It examines how key reading activities and situations in school can be designed for interaction between a social robot and 10-year-old students.

What obstacles are there in school? How do children with disabilities view participation? How does technology support influence school results? We develop the SSI interview instrument, in which children themselves identify their needs of adaptations.

How does genetic and environmental factors affect early reading and cognitive development? In an attempt to answer this we have studied twins in different countries.

SSI (its Swedish name is abbreviated BAS) is an interview instrument which, based on the student's perspective identifies the need of adaptation in school.

Barnafrid is a national knowledge center with the aim of assembling and disseminating knowledge about violence and other abuses against children. It is a government commission that was assigned ¸£Àû¼§ in 2015.

The research includes children and young people with activity limitations in their everyday lives. This can be due to intellectual disabilities, ADHD, mobility impairments, or no specific diagnosis but with need of special support in school.

What obstacles and difficulties do pupils with different disabilities experience at school? How can we get them more involved and active? Through assessments using SSI, individually support measures and technology support the participation increases.

Researchers at ¸£Àû¼§ are studying whether a reading robot can increase fourth graders’ interest in reading. The interdisciplinary project brings together researchers in technology, cognition and pedagogy.
