Presentation Description:
The term evidence-based is popular with reading instruction programs, but what does it mean for something to be evidence-based? Do all programs that claim the title meet the standard? In this session, Dr. Tim Conway, a research neuropsychologist with 30 years of experience with dyslexia, presents a working definition of evidence-based and provides criteria for judging what type of evidence for effectiveness a program actually has. He provides a clear understanding of which type of support is most meaningful and the merits and weaknesses of other types of support.
Presentation Resources:
Presentation slides and/or handout are unavailable.
About the Presenter:
Dr. Conway is trained in lifespan clinical neuropsychology with a specialty in The Morris Center's (TMC) 30+ years of a robust, evidence-based, Transdisciplinary Team approach to assessment & treatment. The TMC team can include Neuropsych, Speech, OT, Developmental/Behavioral Peds, Rec Therapy, School Psych, Clinical Psych, Psychiatry & Education. TMC services are Transdisciplinary Team assessment to effectively plan & provide team treatment for the language, sensory, motor, attention, behavior, executive function/cognitive & academic deficits found in many disorders, eg, Dyslexia, Specific Learning Disorder in Reading or Writing or Arithmetic, Phonological Alexia, Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, Austism, Language Disorders, Dyspraxia, CP, NF1 & Neurodevelopmental Disorders.
Also, in EdTech, Dr. Conway’s unique expertise & “evidence-based with large gains” programs from the “Neuro-development of Words - NOW! company” stem from being transdisciplinary trained & peer-review research published in the areas of fMRI/neuroimaging, post-stroke neurorehabilitation, Dyslexia early intervention, Dyslexia remediation and randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT). Beginning with his training with the late Patricia Conway Lindamood and Charles Lindamood in the 1980’s and his collaboration with The Morris Center (TMC) since 1989, the TMC clinic’s first Neurodevelopmental Disorders publication was in 1991 Annals of Dyslexia & became pilot data for 10yrs of NIH funded RCT’s with Torgesen group, Dr Conway & TMC. Dr Conway & TMC’s program of research on Dyslexia & Neurodevelopmental Disorders has been active for over 25 years.
Combining 30+ years of TMC clinical practice, peer-reviewed & Randomized Controlled Trials research lead to four NOW! Company programs being exclusively provided by TMC clinics (USA & Caribbean), online NOW! Company’s eTutoring, The Einstein School for dyslexia & other schools, adult literacy/basic education training programs, & prisons’ educational services.
Dr Conway trained in both neuordevelopmental disorders and brain injury acquired disorders for a lifespan neurorehabilitation approach to the application of his & colleague's research on providing highly effective, evidence-based treatments.
