Julie Marinac is a lecturer in speech pathology at the School of
Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, The University of Queensland,
and her primary research interest lies in literacy learning failure
across the life-span. For the past five years, Julie has worked with
several Queensland high schools to raise awareness of this issue
in that sector. Julie also leads the research section of the newly
created Literacy for Life Unit at UQ where the team develop, publish
and research the ELF, PAL, PATHS and APPEAL programs (among
others). Her ongoing interest in this area may be due to her enviable
position as the only one of four siblings in her family not affected by
phonological awareness disorder!
