International Online Congress on Early Childhood Intervention: Family, disability and social
Psychologist, PhD development psychology, contract professor at Parma’s University, founder and director of Tice (www.centrotice.it). I am a psychologist, I did the Phd in Parma and during the PhD I went to the USA where I trained with Carl Binder and Kent Jhonson. Back in Italy I opened Tice the first Italian leraning center that uses the principles of aba with children and teenagers with special educational needs. Since 2012 I have been dealing with entrepreneurship education and social innovation. My goal is to spread ABA based businesses and aba based social innovation. In 2006, in parallel with my research activity, I founded Tice the first private Italian non-profit company which offers psychological services based on behavioral science principles to children, young people and young adults with mental health difficulties (www.centrotice.it); my intuition consisted in transferring and adapting the learning centre business model to the Italian educational culture. Since its establishment i strongly force my company in estaboilishing regular collaboration with the academic world,which strongly influenced its ‘generative’ and ‘innovation’ capability. Thanks to this relation and my strategic vision Dal 2011, Every year, in collaboration with Tice, my cooperative, and the Psychology Department at Parma’s University, a Master in ABA program is set up ; the master program is dedicated to psychologists who want to open a behavioral company in Italy. Among the subjects of study in the master course there is a part dedicated to the transfer of know-how in promoting social self-entrepreneurship. My expertise in behavioral economics and social sciences is proved by 3 scientific publications in this field and up to 30 new behavioral based start up in Italy.

Perfiles de desarrollo del lenguaje en discapacidad intelectual: el caso del Síndrome de Down
Not having finished my degree studies, I started researching which allowed me to discover my true vocation and passion: science. I also worked for a few years as a teacher in the old EGB, which allowed me to get to know the education system and its practice. Much of my research and teaching work has revolved around language development/acquisition in typical and atypical populations and, within these, especially in people with Down’s syndrome. This was due to the scarcity of studies on this syndrome, especially in Spanish, despite the high prevalence of this population. The award of several national research projects allowed us to develop this line of research. Given the absence of studies, our beginnings were eminently descriptive. We carried out the first adaptation of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) to the linguistic development profile of children with Down syndrome. This allowed the most extensive study of early language development in the world to be carried out on these children and to obtain the first known standards for such development. Comparisons with typically developing children (TD) also allowed us to provide descriptive data on lexical and grammatical development. Subsequently, we initiated explanatory studies, again being one of the first groups in the world to investigate the processes/mechanisms by which these children acquire vocabulary. We are currently looking even more deeply into the language problems of people with DS, trying to investigate the causes of two crucial problems in this population: unintelligibility and morphosyntax. In the future, we do not rule out investigating the computational processes of linguistic information processing / speech stimulation in babies. Most of our results have been published in high impact journals and presented at numerous conferences.
