We Are Working to Update the Website with More Information and Resources
As we look forward to finding new ways to fund our work on dyslexia and tools to help readers (such as assistive technology) we will be updating this website from mid June until mid July 2025. We will be adding information about how you can support us through the FSU Psychology Department Lab Fund (F09778 The Psychology Lab Fund, simply earmark that your donation be used for our work at the WagnerLab).
We will also be building a page on the website about dyslexia — facts and misconceptions and highlighting ours and other’s research that supports accurate information about dyslexia and what works to help dyslexic readers.
As we are a practical, solution-oriented team, we will also provide information about what works, what lies ahead and what policy makers need to know.
What we can’t provide (though we can make some suggestions of where to find this information) is testing or specific guidance for individuals with dyslexia. We hope that you will be excited about our work and willing to support us financially as other sources of funding become less predictable and stable.
Our work is in Year 18 of a 20 year series of grants and we have learned and published so much. We really do want to see our work come to fruition. You can help! Please feel free to reach out to us on our contact page, or call 850-645-7428 or email zirps@psy.fsu.edu.
Fotena is Back in the Lab
In January of 2025, Nancy Marencin took a dream position at the University of South Florida prompting Fotena to come back in as Lab Manager. Nancy will still work with us on some of the analytic projects and for that we are very grateful. Fotena will be working part time. So very happy to be back in the lab with multiple exciting projects underway!
The Collective Meeting in Boston
In May of 2025, members of the WagnerLab team met in Boston with The Collective (formerly known as the LDRC) to discuss progress and future plans. Themes of collaboration, effective translation to practice, and support of early career researchers were discussed.
The Lab is Hopping
This spring (2025) we had a large group of researchers including a Post Doc, Graduate Student, DIS students, UROP students and a few staff as well as Rick. One beautiful day we took the weekly lab meeting outside to the labyrinth.
