InterAmerican Campus To Host Learn, Love, Grow Conference

InterAmerican Campus’ School of Education will host the Learn, Love, Grow Conference on Oct. 27 at 627 S.W. 27 Ave., Room 3103 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In partnership with Fundación Querer, a nonprofit organization that joins neurological professionals to develop ways to deal with specialized language disorders in children, the conference will host various speakers to discuss developmental techniques to combat brain-based language disorders in children.

“The work these people are doing [is] changing the trajectory of these children’s lives and giving families hope they did not have in the past,” said School of Education Dean Susan Neimand. “The match was very clear.”

Speakers will include professor of psychology from Columbia University Dr. Sarah Woolley, associate professor of Clinical Neurology at Mount Sinai Medical School Dr. Steven Wolf and associate director of Mt Sinai-Beth Israel Medical Center’s Developmental Disability Center Patricia McGolddrick.

Attendance is free, but the conference is prioritizing speech pathologists and school psychologists from Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
