Therése Mineur; I’m a Ph D student in Disability Research, hired at Halmstad University since august -08. I’m an educationalist with a preschool teacher degree and I’m also educated for teaching at the upper secondary school. My head subjects are pedagogy and disability research, in which I have a master degree. I have been working as a teacher in the upper secondary school at the programs for pupils with intellectual disabilities (in Sweden called särskola). In my thesis I’m interested in these pupils experiences and thoughts about their school-days and the school organisation. Most of these pupils are attending special classes, but far from all, as some of them are attending classes in compulsory school. In which different ways the programs for pupils with intellectual disabilities at the upper secondary school level are organised are, except from traditional special classes, indistinct. How different ways of organisation are affecting the pictures of themselves that the pupils have, their future and vital conditions are further questions as I’m searching answers for.

The purpose of the study is to create new knowledge about how students with AS within higher learning environments experience their daily lives. Students with AS experience two aspects of disability – at times an "invisible" functional disability, and in others situations a very apparent functional disability/impairment - that creates challenges for them in their daily lives and studies. People with AS have always existed in our community, but have become a more visible group in the postmodern era. In the current century, both children and adults are being diagnosed with AS at a higher rate and frequency than in previous times.

Helena Stålnacke, (1973) is a registered audiologist and since 1998 working as a lecturer within hearing sciences at Örebro University. Her teaching mainly concerns audiological diagnostics. She is a doctoral student at IHV and also accepted to the HEAD graduate school. The area for her licentiate thesis focuses on the phonological development among young children (2;6 to 3;6 years) who have experienced recurrent episodes of acute otitis media in their early childhood. A consequence of acute otitis media is a mild fluctuating hearing loss which affects the child’s ability to perceive speech sounds which in turn might affect the child development of phonology. Therefore the aim of the study is to describe and to compare the phonological development between children who have had acute otitis media and matching peers with no experience of acute otitis media.
