Engineering came to life through a unique partnership between students at the School for Science and Math at Vanderbilt (SSMV) and Roberts Academy for Dyslexia!

As part of their senior Community Engaged Research Projects, SSMV students transformed their engineering internship experiences into a 14-week curriculum that introduced Roberts Academy students to hands-on design, problem-solving and innovation. The collaboration showcases Vanderbilt Peabody College’s commitment to turning research into real-world impact while inspiring the next generation of thinkers, creators and engineers.

Check out this study on child care challenges in Davidson County, conducted by our Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center ⬇️

Policymakers, advocates, and researchers have documented the scope of child care challenges at the national level for years. What has been far harder to answer is a simpler question: what is happening in any given community?

The Davidson County Child Care Landscape Study explores that question for greater Nashville, Tennessee. Our Center conducted original survey research across licensed child care programs in the region, in partnership with the United Way of Greater Nashville, Raising Readers Nashville, and the Nashville Early Education Coalition.

The study finds interconnected challenges in child care supply, workforce stability, and affordability, with implications that extend well beyond Nashville.

For many Latino families, accessing critical services for young adults with autism can mean overcoming language barriers, navigating complex systems, and facing repeated denials. Research shows that more than 75% of people with disabilities receive no services after high school, creating a significant gap in support.

With a new grant from the W.T. Grant Foundation, Vanderbilt Peabody College professor Meghan Burke is working to change that. Her research will explore a model that empowers Latino parents to become effective advocates for their children as they transition into adulthood.

➡️ Burke is a faculty member in Peabody’s Department of Special Education, home to one of the nation's top-ranked master's programs in the field. Read the full article to learn more about Burke's latest research and discover how our program is preparing leaders to make a difference:
