CNI Accessible Lecture – Neurodiversity: Understanding the Supports and Value of Diverse Learning in the Classroom
Neuroscientists from all over the United States who care about community and democratizing neuroscience deliver accessible lectures on their cutting-edge work. These neuroscientists are generally from underrepresented groups and have their own track record of bringing neuroscience to the people.
Dr. Caroline G. Richter’s research expertise is in the area of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. She is the founder and director of the Science of Child DevelopmenT And NeuRodiverSity (STARS) laboratory. She is interested in understanding the cognitive and socio-emotional aspects that contribute to the variability of the academic achievement of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. She is particularly interested in working with children with learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and Williams syndrome. She hopes that the results of her research can be used to inform targeted assessments and interventions, leading to improvements in the quality of life of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders and their families.
