Dr. Astrid Pohl Zuckerman is a lecturer who primarily teaches PSYCH 1100 (Introduction to Psychology). She's earned her M.S. and Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology at the Ohio State University. Her research interest is the early identification of risk and promotive factors for language-based learning differences, including dyslexia. She is interested in both child-level factors such as how early language and pre-literacy skills predict later reading outcomes as well as family-level factors such as having a parent, sibling, or other close family member with an existing learning difference as a potential risk factor. Dr. Pohl Zuckerman serves as the director of publications for The Dyslexia Foundation and helps coordinate their biannual research symposia.
