25.01.2022 Join us for the Webinar from Bridges 2eCentre on 9 August "THE SCIENCE OF THE DYSLEXIC MIND" Dr. Kaufman will discuss the science of the dyslexic mind... with Drs. Jack Horner and Fumiko Hoeft. Jack Horner is a paleontologist whose path into academia was an atypical one. His story is an inspiration for gifted and twice-exceptional students whose own trajectories may not be following a typical path. Fumiko Hoeft is a professor of child and adolescent psychiatry whose current research program focuses on brain development, and brain mechanisms underlying skill acquisition such as language and reading, and educationally relevant concepts such as motivation, mindset, grit, and stereotype threat. She is particularly passionate about her research in dyslexia and autism.
