María Garau Rolandi

I work primarily in the field of Clinical Neuropsychology at the School Learning Disorders Unit (UTAE). My main line of work is based around the diagnosis and management of school learning disabilities (dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, etc.). In addition to my work with children, I also teach healthcare professionals and conduct research into rehabilitation for children with acquired brain injury and specific language impairment.
