DARTMOUTH – University of Massachusetts Dartmouth professor Sheila Macrine recently won top honors at an international conference for her work on adapting a developmental-assessment tool for Arabic-speaking children who are blind or visually impaired.
Entitled “Best Research in Social Science, Arts and Humanities,” the research paper won first prize at the Qatar Foundation International Annual Research Conference of 2014. The tool consists of 835 behavioral statements that are developmentally sequenced into eight areas: cognitive, language, social, vision, compensatory, self-help, fine motor, and gross motor.
Macrine is a cognitive psychologist in UMass Dartmouth’s STEM Education and Teacher Development departments. •
