Autorenporträt

Elizabeth Cottone, PhD, was a research scientist (Assistant Research Professor) for 11 years at The Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning (CASTL), part of the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education. Her research interests include dyslexia, stroke, investigating pathways from economic disadvantage to poor outcomes for children, and understanding families in poverty through a resilience lens. In 2017, while transitioning to a new job, Cottone had a massive, life-threatening stroke, seemingly out of the blue. Since that time, she has been working hard to recover, trying to fully understand what it means to go slowly, and appreciating all the silver linings as she recognizes them, one by one.Her FUN-R (Foundation Underlying New Reading) method incorporates her broad experience as a research scientist and as a tutor for students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. Beth Cottone has discovered similarities among stroke survivors like herself and people with dyslexia and ADHD, and works to support recovery and education for people with neurodivergent brains. With former colleagues from the University of Virginia, James Kauffman and Jeanmarie Badar, she is drafting a paper for a new academic journal on the topic of human belonging. With another colleague, Cottone is spearheading an academic paper on resilience in marginalized communities. Visit elizabethcottone.com for more information and to contact the author.
