The Windward Institute's Research Education Advocacy Podcast 

Host Danielle Gomez interviews prominent researchers, thought leaders, and practitioners in education and child development. READ Podcast explores topics related to language-based learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, educational neuroscience, teaching practices, language and literacy, and more.

With a new episode each month, READ offers insights in research, education, and advocacy by

• applying research in practice across educational contexts.
• connecting with prominent researchers and thought leaders in education.
• discussing important advocacy issues related to supporting students with language-based learning disabilities and all learners.

In This Month's Episode

Ola Ozernov-Palchik, PhD, joins READ to discuss her work in dyslexia, neuroscience, and early literacy policy. She explores the paradox of dyslexia—why early identification is critical yet often delayed—and how neuroimaging research uncovers the brain's role in reading development and challenges. In this episode:

• What neuroscience studies reveal about reading acquisition and dyslexia
• How research informs universal screening and early literacy policies
• The successes and challenges of translating research into advocacy and practice

Dr. Ozernov-Palchik's work bridges research, education, and advocacy, offering insights into the future of reading science and education.
