Description
Learning trajectories are shaped by the dynamic interplay between nature and nurture, starting in utero and continuing throughout the lifespan. Learning differences/disabilities are often not identified until childhood or adolescence, but diverging trajectories of brain development may be present as early as prenatally. Furthermore, children's experiences and their interactions with their environment have long-lasting influences on cognitive and brain development and future academic outcomes. This talk will focus on learning differences in reading acquisition within a learning disability framework. It will present results from our longitudinal behavioral and neuroimaging studies that characterize differences in learning to read as a complex outcome of cumulative risk and protective factors interacting within and across genetic, neurobiological, cognitive, and environmental levels from infancy to adulthood. Results are discussed within an early multifactorial framework of learning differences, emphasizing screening in educational and community settings, early identification, and preventative strategies. Finally, using a global lens, the implications of these findings for contemporary challenges in educational and clinical practice and policy are discussed.

Simpósio Internacional 2023 | Simposio NCPI
Com o tema “Políticas públicas para um Brasil de infâncias plurais”, o X Simpósio Internacional de Desenvolvimento na Primeira Infância vai debater a implementação de políticas públicas voltadas às crianças de 0 a 6 anos com qualidade e em escala, além dos desafios para o enfrentamento das desigualdades – regionais, étnico-raciais e socioeconômicas – que afetam a pluralidade das primeiras infâncias brasileiras.
O encontro acontece em 25 de outubro de 2023 no Brasília Palace Hotel, em Brasília (DF), e terá três formas de participação:
Presencial (sujeito à disponibilidade de vagas)
On-line (individual)
On-line em “simpósios-satélites” – transmissões simultâneas para grupos, organizadas por instituições de todo o país de modo independente.
Sobre o Simpósio
Desde a sua criação, em 2011, o Simpósio já mobilizou mais de 20 mil participantes ao longo de 9 edições em diferentes capitais brasileiras. Sua programação é marcada pela presença de renomados palestrantes nacionais e internacionais de importantes universidades, organizações não governamentais e instituições públicas.
Sempre partindo do conhecimento científico, o Simpósio aborda temas relevantes sobre o desenvolvimento da primeira infância buscando sensibilizar e mobilizar lideranças públicas para a qualificação de políticas públicas dedicadas às crianças pequenas brasileiras. Por isso, o público prioritário do evento é formado por tomadores de decisão que atuam em diferentes esferas de governo, especialmente nas áreas da saúde, educação e desenvolvimento social.
