Head of Program: Clinical Arabic program in Learning Disabilities
My main research interests are in psycholinguistics and neuropsychology. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, my work focuses on the cognitive and neurocognitive underpinnings of visual word perception, reading processes, speech perception and production. Specifically, the combination of three major levels: brain, cognition and behavior are a key element of my approach to the study of typical and atypical development of language abilities. In my clinical research and practice, I am involved in Neuropsychological and Learning disabilities assessment and treatment including: cognitive skills, executive functions, emotional state as derived from the diagnosis profile as well as adaptive active coping strategies.
