Purpose

Through its research program on Cognition and Student Learning in Special Education (Cognition), the Institute supports research that contributes to the improvement of developmental outcomes for infants and toddlers with disabilities or at risk for disabilities and learning for students with disabilities or at risk for disabilities. The long-term outcome of this program will be an array of tools and strategies (e.g., instructional approaches, computer tutors) that are based on principles of learning and information processing gained from cognitive science and demonstrated effective for improving developmental outcomes for infants and toddlers with or at risk for disabilities and learning for students with or at risk for disabilities in preschool through Grade 12.
