Carroll Speaker Series

Several times a year, Carroll hosts nationally recognized speakers who present on subjects of interest to our community. Last year’s speakers included nationally recognized figures such as Dr. Nadine Gaab, a researcher at Children’s Hospital, who investigates early signs of dyslexia in pre-reading children and infants, Dr. John Gabrieli, a researcher involved with several different aspects of neuro-imagining research at MIT as well as Sarah Entine, a filmmaker, whose documentary Read Me Differently explores how undiagnosed dyslexia and ADHD have impacted three generations in her family.

In January, 2013, Dr. Gordon Sherman— one of the first neuroscientists to discover four anatomical differences in the brains of people with dyslexia and conclude that these brained-based differences alter a dyslexic’s ability to read, write and spell— spoke to a large gathering at Carroll.To learn more about Dr. Sherman’s presentation, click here.

In March, 2013, Dr. Michael Thompson, a preeminent child psychologist and author of numerous books including, Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys and co-author with Dr. Hallowell of, Finding The Heart of the Child, gave a presentation to Carroll’s community.
