Research Interests & Abilities

• literacy development
• orthographic processing
• phonological processing

Major Research Activities

My program of research has focused on the relative efficacy of specific training interventions in promoting literacy skill. By understanding the mechanisms involved in successful learning interventions, we gain understanding of the problems that plague children with reading and spelling deficits, and we can better recommend remedial programs that target those deficits.

CLLRNet Research Projects

• Efficacy Research with Down Syndrome: Interventions Designed to Impact Reading Ability
• Using Neuroimaging Methods to Elucidate Mechanisms of Speech Processing and Reading in Healthy, Dyslexic and Down Syndrome Populations.
