Richter’s symposiums have both been accepted to the 2022 IDA Conference on November 10th-12th. Congratulations Dr's Clement-Lam and Richter! Check out the agenda here. Dr. Silvia Clement-Lam’s accepted symposium is titled: “Break walls: Integrating reading research, policy, and applications.” Dr. Richter’s accepted symposium is titled: “Socio-emotional challenges in learning disorders.” Abstract: In this symposium, we discuss some socio-emotional challenges individuals with dyslexia face as a result of their learning differences. In the first talk, Richter summarizes the studies investigating associations between Specific Learning Disability (SLD)-related stigma and stereotype threat and psychological and academic outcomes in individuals with SLDs. In the second talk, Hendren describes three interrelated recently published studies at schools for students with reading disorders with a focus on the role of anxiety, grit, resilience, and depression in students with reading disorders. In the third talk, Al Otaiba describes the effects of providing mindset intervention to students with reading difficulties. Finally, Kockler leads the discussion and talks about her work as the Director of AERDF Reading Reimagined and how all elements of reading instruction and social development must interact to support students to reach their full potential as readers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba2831e3c3a53f00bb1dc9f/a5765ef4-1f49-4799-b77e-b748ac9d5259/thumbnail_DF0BE4A8-98CD-426A-8FA3-F53730586966.jpg News - 8/31/2022 Our collaborator Dr. Denise Lima and her husband Dr. Augusto Buchweitz welcomed a new member of their family into the world!
