This week, we had the incredible opportunity to present our reading intervention research at the Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness (SREE). We were honored to have the guidance of a Harvard professor during our session, and he was impressed by both our intervention and the quality of our presentation.

A special thank you to Christina Gonzalez, whose expertise, generosity with her time, and passion for literacy made this possible. We are continually inspired by her knowledge and dedication to helping children succeed.

It was such a privilege to share our work alongside Dr. McKenna and to highlight the power of collaboration between researchers, schools, and practitioners. Together, we’re making strides toward more effective reading support for children

🎉🎉Introducing Amy Brummel, SLPD, CCC-SLP/L, BCS-CL🎉🎉

Dr. Amy K. Brummel graduated with highest honors from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, earning a B.S. in Speech and Hearing Science and an M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology. She taught phonetics as an undergraduate teaching assistant and researched morphology in multicultural settings as a graduate research assistant. Her passion for evidence-based practice led her to earn a clinical doctorate with a focus on language and literacy. Amy began her career at Easter Seals, specializing in early intervention, before transitioning to work with school-aged children. Driven by her desire to help students build strong literacy skills, Amy established her private practice, Amy’s Academics: Speech, Language, and Literacy. She is credentialed as a Wilson Dyslexia Practitioner, Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction provider, and SPELL-Links Certified Provider. Licensed in California, Illinois, and Kentucky, Amy is also an IDA provider and has been sought out as a content expert in due process hearings. In addition to her private practice, she serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she collaborates in research focused on evidence-based reading instruction.
