The Post-Symposium at the Learning Disabilities Association conference was a full day of sessions for both Bridges to Practice trainers and other interested individuals. We are happy to share what we learned. Our morning speaker was Dr. James Russell of Missouri who presented an interactive workshop on the brain that was designed to help all of us better understand what is happening when we read. In the afternoon, Dr. Kenneth Pugh, a researcher at Yale University who works with fMRIs and reading, showed us the results of some of his work and explained what we can learn from this research and what new questions are being asked as a result of this. FYI: The development of a Spanish-language screening tool for learning disabilities has been completed under the New York State Department of Labor, with the coordination done through the LDA of Western New York, and with researchers from the SUNY College at Brockport. A copy of the screen and the research report that accompanies it will be sent to all participants. If you will send an e-mail to me, instead of to the discussion list, I would be happy to share the information with anyone who is interested. I'll need a full mailing address because some of the material cannot be transmitted electronically so we will be sending packets. My address is jcrawford@nifl.gov Thanks for your interest! -----Original Message----- From: nifl-ld@nifl.gov [mailto:nifl-ld@nifl.gov]On Behalf Of Guyer, Barbara Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 6:26 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-LD:4606] RE: Dr. Jim Russell Hello, June! Is it possible that you could also send me a copy? I wasn't able to stay over for the Post-symposium. Sorry I didn't get to talk with you very much. Last year it meant a great deal to me to be able to sit down and chat with you. I sincerely hope that you are well and happy. Barbara Guyer P.S. I wasn't re-elected to the Board of LDA, but I am on Adult Issues and Education Committees. I became quite fond of some people while I was on the Board, especially the Past Presidents. I have learned so much during the past 5 years. Take care. Barbara Guyer Dr. Barbara P. Guyer Director, H.E.L.P.
