Biographical Sketch:
Dr. Cutting received her degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders in 1997 from Northwestern University. During her doctoral training, During her doctoral work at Northwestern University, she completed internships at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, Yale University School of Medicine's Center for Learning and Attention, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. In 2002-2003, she completed an NIH science policy fellowship.. After receiving her doctorate, Dr. Cutting subsequently completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in developmental cognitive neurology at the Kennedy Krieger Institute/Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Currently, Dr. Cutting is a research scientist at Kennedy Krieger Institute and an Associate Professor of Neurology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and an Assistant Professor of Education at Johns Hopkins University.
Research Summary:
Dr. Cutting’s research is focused on brain-behavior relations in children and adolescents, with a particular emphasis on reading disabilities, language and executive function. Currently, she is the principal investigator of several NIH-funded research projects on reading and reading comprehension and a co-investigator on other NIH-funded and Department of Education-funded projects on reading, reading disabilities, and ADHD. She has written and co-authored articles on reading, reading disabilities, other learning disorders, and ADHD.
