Please see information below Best wishes Debbie The Neuro-cognition of Developmental Disorders Affecting Language (NDDAL) Workshop will take place on 9 July 2013, in Newcastle Upon Tyne. NDDAL is sponsored by the British Academy in partnership with Newcastle University. This workshop aims to bring together world-leading experts and established researchers, as well as early-career researchers, post-doctoral and post-graduate researchers interested in various cognitive and neural aspects of developmental disorders affecting language, particularly Developmental Dyslexia and Specific Language Impairment, but also Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, and Williams Syndrome. We are delighted to have Dr. Michael T. Ullman as the Keynote speaker. Dr. Ullman is Professor in the Department of Neuroscience, with secondary appointments in the Departments of Neurology, Linguistics and Psychology, at Georgetown University. He is Director of the Brain and Language Laboratory and the Georgetown EEG/ERP Lab. His research examines the brain bases of language, how language and memory are affected in various disorders, and how factors such as sex, handedness, and genetic variability affect the brain bases of language and memory. His talk is entitled "SLI, dyslexia, autism, and other neuro-developmental disorders: Insights from procedural and declarative memory" We are inviting abstract submissions for short presentations. Important dates: Deadline for abstract submission: 11 June 2013 Notification of acceptance: 16 June 2013 Early registration deadline: 25 June 2013 Late registration deadline: 5 July 2013 Workshop: 9 July 2013 For more information, please see the Workshop website: http://nddal.weebly.com/ Best wishes, Cristina Dye Dr. Cristina D.
