Research

Advancing the reading sciences to support literacy for all

To guide the transformation of literacy in California and beyond, the UC|CSU Collaborative for Neuroscience, Diversity, and Learning brings together:

• Educational innovation
• Progressive practices
• Cutting-edge cognitive, developmental, and affective research in the neurosciences, education and psychology

We focus on understanding and improving teaching practices for students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. When learning environments are accessible and supportive for these students, all students benefit.

Our primary areas of research are: 

• Reading Development
• Reading Instruction and Intervention
• Dyslexia
• Digital Reading and Technology
• Science of Reading (The Reading Brain and Neuroscience)
• Screening for Reading Disabilities and Dyslexia
• Bilingualism/Multilingualism and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy
• Social-Emotional Learning and Development
• Juvenile Justice
• Teacher Preparation
