This year’s wine and cheese reception, highlighting the research contributions of students from several universities and agencies around the state was a success. According to Executive Director Gail Lowe, 17 research posters were submitted, up considerably from recent years. The competition was strong among many interesting submissions, and showcased topics such as “Using Interactive Biofeedback Therapy to Address Social Skills Deficits in Children,” submitted by Taighlor Whittington, B.A., of the Neuropsychology Center of Louisiana and sponsored by Dr. Darlyne Nemeth. Another presentation from Northwestern State University student Teri Tanner, B.A., was “Getting to Know You- Exploration of Beginning Theoretical Approach,” sponsored by Dr. Susan Thorson-Barnett.
