Biography:

As licensed psychologist and mother of two children with ADHD and language-based learning differences, Dr. Julie Morrison possesses professional knowledge, practical experience, and personal dedication to making difference in the lives of those for whom learning, attention, behavior, and/or emotional disorders pose a challenge to accessing strengths. She completed her doctorate in clinical psychology at the American School of Professional Psychology. At the Kennedy Krieger Family Center/Johns Hopkins Hospital, she co-coordinated a Birth to Five Clinic, presenting at national conferences and publishing articles and book chapters on trauma.

After working in various outpatient settings, she established her private practice in Columbia, MD, with a specialty in the comprehensive psychological evaluation and treatment of twice exceptional individuals. A Fellow of the Maryland Psychological Association, Dr. Morrison is a member of Professional Practice Committee. She serves on the LD/ADHD Advisory Committee for the Howard County Public Schools and is Vice President of Individual Differences in Learning, a non-profit organization, which advocates for the needs of twice exceptional students. Prior to assisting in the planning of this conference, she served on the planning committee for "What Works and Why: Unmasking Student Strengths through Innovative Learning Experiences," a conference emphasizing the integration of arts and technology through multi-sensory, real-world, student-centered methods to enhance success of different learners. Dr. Morrison recently wrote an article for a peer-reviewed publication on identification, assessment, and intervention with the gifted learning disabled and presented on eliciting student strengths and using results of psychological evaluation to guide academic interventions.
