Carina Marie Wehmeier serves as Scientific Staff at the Institute for Special Education (IFS) within the Faculty of Philosophy at Leibniz University Hannover. Her academic work focuses on language development and inclusive education practices in primary school settings across Lower Saxony.

Her research interests center on language development in monolingual and multilingual preschool and school-age children, with particular emphasis on language diagnostics and identification of language development disorders.
