Jane Healy, Ph.D.
Different Learners: The Nature and Nurture of Learning Problems in the 21st Century
http://www.dyslexia-ncbida.org/event.4.2.11.html
Learning abilities—and differences—result from a complex interaction of genetics, brain development, and a child's experiences at home and school. We will explore research on this nature-nurture interaction in children of the digital age, review successful case studies with positive strategies for recognizing symptoms, find effective therapies, and construct a learning-power environment to help any child achieve more effectively.
Jane Healy, Ph.D. is a teacher, author, and lecturer who has worked with all ages from pre-school to graduate school. A graduate of Smith College, she holds a M.A. from John Carroll University, a Ph.D. in educational psychology from Case Western Reserve University, and post-doctoral work in developmental neuropsychology.
