FREE resources: science of reading essentials, preschoolers & DevLangDis, classroom chats, & practical strategies for supporting communication in schools and for people with aphasia.
FREE training: brain anatomy 101, on how we learn & remember, neurodevelopmental disorders, and large language models.
OPEN-ACCESS research: a systematic review of bilingualism + DevLangDis interventions, Theory of Mind tests, and parenting & teenagers' non-cognitive skills.

Our resource of the week: a Christmas language comprehension booster for preschoolers and young school students!
