Mirjam van Tellingen

Mirjam van Tellingen is a Researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Arts at the University of Groningen, specializing in the Neurolinguistics and Language Development (NLD) research group. Her clinical work extends to Rehabilitation Centre 'Revalidatie Friesland' as a Researcher/Clinical Linguist since July 2007.

Her research focuses on the intersection of music therapy and speech-language pathology, particularly targeting childhood speech disorders. Key areas include aphasia treatment, childhood apraxia of speech, and prosody evaluation in Dutch-speaking children. She employs interdisciplinary approaches combining neurological, linguistic, and therapeutic frameworks to develop innovative rehabilitation techniques for speech sound disorders.

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong emphasis on evidence-based music therapy interventions, with a notable trend toward case study methodologies and clinical applications for pediatric speech disorders. The work consistently bridges theoretical linguistics with practical rehabilitation outcomes.

Van Tellingen actively contributes to academic discourse through conference presentations on speech-music therapy applications, though no formal awards or major grants are documented in the provided materials.

Her collaborative network includes prominent researchers like Hurkmans, Terband, Maassen, and Jonkers, reflecting strong institutional partnerships in speech-language pathology research. Current work centers on refining music-based therapeutic protocols for childhood speech disorders through both clinical practice and academic investigation.
