Congratulations to the 2026 CEC-DR Award Winners! 🎉

We look forward to honoring our award winners for their outstanding contributions to research and leadership in special education. Join us at the CEC-DR Business Meeting in Salt Lake City, UT on Thursday, March 12, 2026.

Hmmm... the dyslexia study seems underpowered at first glance.

Das ist echt frustrierend.

Today is International Mountain Day!😍⛰️ It's a day to remember how important our mountains are to our planet. This year's theme is "Glaciers matter for water, food, and livelihood in mountains and beyond."

Below, enjoy some pictures from the beautiful mountains in Slovenia - the Julian Alps.

A total of 2,675 pre-K through Grade 1 children were represented in treatment groups and 2,578 in control groups for PA outcomes, and 1,495 and 1,315 children, respectively, for reading outcomes.

❓What if the “small-medium-large” effect sizes we use in early literacy aren’t right for this field?

We derived empirical thresholds from recent PA meta-analyses.
Cohen’s cutoffs fit PA but overestimate reading by ~0.2 SD.

This matters for judging impact and powering trials.

Big news! 🎉 Our team at Texas A&M was awarded a $1.45 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for Project ELEVATE. Over the next 5 years, we’ll support future special ed teachers with funding, mentoring, and community. Grateful to do this work. #ElevateTheProfession

Happy to share the work by Aisha Lee-Cobbins & Megan Bishop! They interviewed 2 leading voices in literacy:

Dr. Nicole Patton Terry on how reading disability ID can impact Black children & low-income students, and how equity-focused policies & partnerships can help.

Honored to receive the 2025 Taylor & Francis Award from #SSSR ! I’m thrilled—and honestly a little overwhelmed—to be recognized by a community I admire so much. Can’t wait for #SSSR2025 and all the conversations, learning, and connections ahead! 💙📚

Had to pop back in just to celebrate you here as well. This is so well deserved. Huge congrats again!

Love reading all of your work, Julia!

Good morning, Coronado and San Diego!
A perfect day for inline skating!💜🛼

@ying-xu.bsky.social Congratulations on your poster presentation. Excellent work!

Thank you, everyone, for stopping by at @ying-xu.bsky.social 's poster and asking thought provoking questions which Ying will incorporate in her paper on this topic. #pcrc2025

An NIH grant I was on as a postdoc helped us understand why some children develop reading difficulties while others don't.

Our current NIH grant examines whether Spanish-speaking bilingual learners in 🇺🇸 struggle with reading due to a reading disability or language differences btwn English&Spanish.
