Episode #145 - Hot Topics In The Learning Disabilities World
In this Episode, Laurie, Sydney, and Cara have a "Hot Topics" discussion where they each bring a current study or topic covering the systemic gaps in how learning disabilities get identified, a commonly overlooked processing disorder that flies under the radar in schools, and exciting new neuroscience research reframing how we understand and diagnose ADHD.
Across all three topics, a common thread emerges: the field is advancing rapidly, but awareness, resources, and diagnostic tools haven't caught up -- leaving many students, particularly girls and those in under-resourced environments, without the support they need.
