BCBL - Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language. The scientific program will consist of keynote lectures, oral sessions and poster sessions.

As part of its scientific activities, the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language.bcbl.eu is pleased to announce IWORDD: International Workshop On Reading and Developmental Dyslexia.
Our aim with this workshop is to promote exchange of ideas between world-class dyslexia experts through debates and talks, and facilitate transfer of knowledge between practitioners and scientists.
The ultimate goal is to understand the causes of dyslexia and improve detection protocols and remediation techniques.

The workshop is split into two parts, each of which should be registered for separately.
In order to secure your place for this event, please REGISTER as soon as possible as the NUMBER OF PLACES IS LIMITED.


CONFERENCE PROGRAM. Part One: IWORDD -- Theoretical Perspectives (May 30 and 31)

This part will be dedicated to the science and will be centered around six debates between invited speakers. Since IWORDD aims to encompass the wide variety of theoretical views on developmental reading disorders, debates will involve international experts chosen to represent this diversity of approaches. This series of debates will be complemented by talks and poster presentations selected from abstract submissions. Note that only the 12 best abstracts will be selected for oral presentation, and that the language for these two days will be English.

Maggie Snowling - University of York, UK.
Usha Goswami - University of Cambridge, UK.

Temporal Sampling Theory versus Allophonic Theory of developmental dyslexia (Usha Goswami & Willy Serniclaes)
A phonological deficit or a broader auditory deficit as a core impairment of dyslexia? (Merav Ahissar & Pol Ghesquière)
The phonological deficit: cause or consequence of reading disorders? (Kate Nation & Anne Castles)
The nature of the visual deficits in developmental dyslexia (Andrea Facoetti & Trichur Vidyasagar)
Are there subtypes of developmental dyslexia? (Joel Talcott & Sylviane Valdois)


CONFERENCE PROGRAM. Part Two: IWORDD -- From Theory to Practice (June 1). Go to website

The second part will promote the transfer of knowledge and interaction among researchers, parents, teachers and practitioners. IWORDD - From Theory to Practice will be centered around six keynotes by international experts tailored to a broad audience, followed by a round-table discussion. For this part, simultaneous interpretation in Spanish, English and Basque will be provided.
Questions to the speakers can be sent in advance through this form.
