Welcome from
the chair

In order to commemorate the World Children's Day (https://www.un.org/en/observances/world-childrens-day), MDPI is launching a special webinar to encourage researchers to join together, take action, and raise awareness of children's rights.

World Children’s Day was first established in 1954 as Universal Children's Day and is celebrated on 20 November each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare. World Children's Day offers each of us an inspirational entry-point to advocate, promote and celebrate children's rights, translating into dialogues and actions that will build a better world for children.

The webinar aims to encourage connections and collaboration among air pollution researchers and the international open access community to share and discuss their research findings. We are very much looking forward to seeing you at the MDPI World Children's Day 2023.

Dr. Deborah Moncrieff

School of Communication Sciences & Disorders, the University of Memphis, US;
Dr. Moncrieff’s research focuses on auditory disorders across the lifespan, with particular emphasis on the negative impact of auditory disorders on communication, language, learning, and reading. She has identified “amblyaudia” and “dichotic dysaudia,” two auditory processing deficits that interfere with a listener’s ability to integrate competing information arriving at the two ears. Both dichotic deficits improve with a short-term auditory training regimen developed to remediate amblyaudia, Auditory Rehabilitation for Interaural Asymmetry (ARIA). Her current research objective is to differentiate these two dichotic deficits through behavioral, electrophysiologic, and imaging methods before and after ARIA training.
