Developmental pathways of children with and without familial risk for dyslexia during the first years of life.
2002
Comparisons of the developmental pathways of the first 5 years of life for children with (N = 107) and without (N = 93) familial risk for dyslexia observed in the Jyvaskyla Longitudinal study of Dyslexia are reviewed. The earliest differences between groups were found at the ages of a few days and at 6 months in brain event-related potential responses to speech sounds and in head-turn responses (at 6 months), conditioned to reflect categorical perception of speech stimuli. The development of vocalization and motor behavior, based on parental report of the time of reaching significant milestones, or the growth of vocabulary (using the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories) failed t…
Very early phonological and language skills: estimating individual risk of reading disability
2007
Background: Analyses from the JyvaskylaLongitudinal Study of Dyslexia project show that the key childhood predictors (phonological awareness, short-term memory, rapid naming, expressive vocabu- lary, pseudoword repetition, and letter naming) of dyslexia differentiate the group with reading disability (n ¼ 46) and the group without reading problems (n ¼ 152) at the end of the 2nd grade. These measures were employed at the ages of 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 years and information regarding the familial risk of dyslexia was used to find the most sensitive indices of an individual child's risk for reading disabil- ity. Methods: Age-specific and across-age logistic regression models were constructed to pro…
Parents’ Perceptions and Experiences with Their Children’s Use of Augmentative/Alternative Communication: A Systematic Review and Qualitative Meta-Sy…
2022
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) consists of any method of communicating that supplements or completely substitutes oral and/or written language when it is impaired. Therefore, it enables children with complex communication needs to develop their full communicative potential. However, despite the many benefits of AAC and its widespread use, several review studies have underscored the problems faced by parents and children who use AAC in their daily lives. The general objective of this systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis is to provide a complete overview of parents’ experiences and perceptions with their children’s use of AAC. Specifically, it aimed to identify c…
Aiap Women in Design Award (AWDA) : Short History and Perspectives
2020
The biennial award organized by Aiap (the Italian Associa- tion of Visual Communication Design) intends to investigate the languages, poetics and different approaches to commu- nication design and explore the conditions in which women designers work. Not to examine a protected area or search for peculiarities characterizing women’s design methodol- ogy (Ferrara, 2018). Nevertheless, to act as a place whence to observe a partly hidden dimension, to use single projects to bring to light the wide-ranging, diverse world of women communication designers (Piscitelli, 2015). The award intends to emphasize the role that women graphic designers have or had in the professional and educational areas, …
Raccolta iconografica
2011
Comunicare il design italiano, inteso come prodotto Made in Italy, implica una singolare e duplice attività progettuale, ovvero quella che conduce attraverso le varie fasi sequenziali del design di comunicazione, alla realizzazione di un artefatto comunicativo nel tentativo ultimo di dare un nome, un volto, una voce, un sistema di segni riconoscibili a un artefatto di product design. Un rapporto stretto e biunivoco che si innesta tra i due in una relazione che lega a doppio filo forma e funzione, prima nel prodotto poi nella comunicazione, infine in un tutt’uno indissolubile, in cui il design soltanto, connotato dai suoi tanti nomi, diventa l’unica chiave di lettura dell’oggetto parlante. Q…
L’ACCESSO A UNA FELICITÀ DEL POSSIBILE
2021
Una lunga riflessione sul significato di accessibilità introduce il saggio, partendo dall’etimologia del termine, assecondandone l’evoluzione e il conseguente riconoscimento istituzionale, seguendone poi gli sviluppi che danno vita a due indirizzi distinti, contestualizzabili rispettivamente nell’ambito materiale della sfera fisica e nell’ambito immateriale della sfera culturale. Quest’ultimo è l’ambito che viene approfondito e riletto attraverso la disciplina del design della comunicazione visiva. Se al concetto di accessibilità fisica si associa quello di soglia che implica il superamento di ogni tipo di barriera, limite, ostacolo, consentendo l’annullamento di soluzioni di continuità tra…
AIAP DESIGN PER, INTERNATIONAL GRAPHIC DESIGN WEEK 2017, CULTURE VISIBILI
2017
Aiap Design Per, International Graphic Design Week, organizzata dall’Associazione italiana design della comunicazione visiva, si svolgerà nel 2017 a Roma, nella città che per storia, cultura, estensione, popolazione e ruolo strategico, politico e simbolico ha una assoluta centralità nel panorama nazionale ed è, oltre che capitale d’Italia, per antonomasia la Città, scenario ideale per le Culture visibili di cui ci occuperemo. Roma diventa il territorio sul quale riflettere e dibattere, analizzare e confrontare contesti, dinamiche, linguaggi e pratiche. Un luogo da utilizzare come contesto di riferimento da trasformare in paradigma per altre città; per prefigurare scenari futuri, per immagin…
AWDA Aiap Women in Design Award
2018
Aiap Women in Design Award è un progetto ambizioso che prosegue una linea di ricerca, da molti anni avviata, rivolta a indagare le diverse espressioni del progetto grafico, attenta a ricostruire quei frammenti che raccontano la storia continua, passata e presente del design della comunicazione visiva, nel tentativo ininterrotto di non soffermarsi su aspetti isolati ma di ricomporre quei contesti socio-economici in cui le designer lavorano e costruiscono i loro linguaggi espressivi, per tradurre attraverso il progetto, invisibili contenuti in materia di comunicazione visiva. Aiap Women in Design Award is an ambitious project which develops a line of research that was started several years ag…
XPL, a Presentation Language based on User Interface Design Pattern
2007
The great diversity of presentations in software applications deals with fulfillment of various type of graphic interface constructions related to different programming Languages. Moreover, in the Internet era html pages play a main role because of the increasing complexity of Web applications. In Software Engineering, the use of design patterns is proven remarkable for the design and reuse of software components. Visual Design. Patterns (ViDP) are useful to define interaction schemas between. user and computer. By the some token, visual design. patterns are useful to incorporate common interfaces of interaction, schemas between user and computer. This paper describes the eXtensible Present…
Do social enterprises walk the talk? Assessing microfinance performances with mission statements
2019
We study mission drift in social enterprises by examining whether these organizations stick to the actual mission enshrined in their mission statements. We use data from microfinance organizations (MFOs), a homogeneous group of social enterprises which have been scrutinized—and sometimes criticized—for mission drift. We focus on three publicly recognized and non-mutually-exclusive microfinance social missions identified by previous studies: poverty alleviation, women's empowerment, and rural financial inclusion. Based on hand-collected data from 199 MFOs worldwide, our results suggest strong coherence between social missions and actual practices. Hence, we argue that, with respect to MFOs' …
