Dr. Richter leads the Science of Child Development And NeuRodiverSity (STARS) laboratory and explores what it means to be a neurodiverse kid. She will share different strategies for educators and parents to better support neurodiverse kids through hands-on activities and Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Dr. Caroline G. Richter's research expertise is in the area of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. She is interested in understanding the cognitive and socio-emotional aspects that contribute to the variability of the academic achievement of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. She is particularly interested in working with children with learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and Williams Syndrome. She hopes that the results of her research can be used to inform targeted assessments and interventions, leading to improvements in the quality of life of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders and their families.
