Children's Learning Institute Details
The Children's Learning Institute (CLI) at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth is the preeminent resource for learning solutions that produce tested, proven, effective results through scientific research and evidence-based interventions.Under the co-direction of April Crawford, PhD and Tricia Zucker, PhD, CLI combines data and studies from the fields of psychology, neurodevelopment, education, and child development to provide learning solutions derived from and supported by documented research. While several programs came together to form the Children's Learning Institute in 2003 by our founding director, nationally recognized early childhood expert Dr. Susan H. Landry, our research represents work that started in the 1980s. Today, the Children's Learning Institute provides clinical assessment, diagnoses and treats learning disorders, conducts cutting-edge research on techniques to enhance a child's home and learning environments, and develops multi-modal teaching, learning, and coaching platforms. From birth through young adulthood, our programs and services impact children across Texas and the nation. CLI's research and programs are supported by federal and state institutions that include the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Health, the US Department of Education, the Institute of Educational Science, Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Department of Defense, United States Army Medical Research, the Texas Education Agency, Texas Workforce Commission, private foundations and non-profit research institutes, and generous individuals. --- Drs. Crawford and Zucker assumed co-direction of CLI in May 2020.
