Nadine Gaab, PhD, is a prominent researcher and international speaker on reading development. Her work focuses on developmental cognitive neuroscience, particularly in language-based learning disabilities.

Dr. Gaab will focus on learning differences in reading acquisition within a learning disability framework. She will present results from longitudinal behavioral and neuroimaging studies that characterize differences in learning to read as a complex outcome of cumulative risk and protective factors interacting within and across genetic, neurobiological, cognitive, and environmental levels from infancy to adulthood.
