Dr. Thomas P. Sherwood - Founder Biolexia | Cognitive and Behavioral Applications Advisor

Dr. Thomas P. Sherwood II, Cognitive and Behavioral Applications Advisor Dr. Sherwood has 34 years experience in the field of education in both instructional and administrative roles, with particular interest and expertise in the area of reading disabilities. He did his undergraduate work at Penn State University and obtained a M.Ed. from Millersville State University and an Ed. D. from the University of Maryland. He holds two advanced state reading certifications in Pennsylvania and one national reading certification from post-doctoral work in a program based at Ohio State University. Upon retirement from public education in Pennsylvania in 2006, he formed a literacy consultancy named BioLexia. The name of the company was intentionally chosen to draw awareness to the critical importance of acknowledging the biological substrates impacting both the human lexicon and lexical cognitive processing in literacy acquisition and achievement or dysfunction. BioLexia currently focuses on educational markets regarding literacy diagnosis and intervention on three levels: 1) University / College Student-Athletes and NCAA concerns about APR / GSR metrics, 2) Post-secondary Technical, Training, & Trade Schools and Community College concerns about student recruitment and retention issues, 3) Governmental / Private Business concerns for a literate workforce. Such a focus does not exclude marketing to the multitude of private clinics, institutes, franchises, and other educational providers dedicated to addressing literacy concerns like dyslexia which work seeks to support, at one time or another in their educational journey, those entering the three aforementioned entities with underdeveloped literacy skills. Biolexia is dedicated to developing a collaborative systems approach to the instructional interaction of mind, brain, and education from a clinical perspective utilizing advanced diagnostic protocols in cognition, genetics, and neurology to better inform clients' ongoing intervention and monitoring efforts with a more "laser-like" focus to enhance the efficacy of literacy solutions. Some of Dr Sherwood's specific research and professional interests deemed to enable multiple synergies with Zerosum include: 1) cortical cell genetics, 2) genetic markers for SRD predisposition, 3) genetic etiology of SRD, 4) neural plasticity, and 5) the neurobiology of reading disabilities.
