  • “I study brain waves in order to understand why some children have trouble with sharing their ideas through talking. The kids I study have normal brains as far as doctors can tell, but often struggle when reading and talking. They can move their mouths and tongues in a normal way. I want to know what parts of the brain are leading to their struggle in order to find new ways to understand and help them. I use a computer to help me to study brain waves and use it to study fields of numbers to increase our understanding of these kids.”
