Emma Shanahan, doctoral student in the Department of Educational Psychology’s special education program, has been recognized with the College of Education and Human Development’s Anderson Dyslexia Identification and Intervention Fellowship.

Shanahan is receiving this fellowship for her long-term commitment to improve instruction for students who experience characteristics of dyslexia and to support educators of students who struggle with learning to read.

During her fellowship, Shanahan will work with the Minnesota Center for Reading Research (MCRR) (now part of the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement – CAREI) on a project for educators who work with students with characteristics of dyslexia.

Congratulations to Emma Shanahan and best wishes as she continues this important work!
