Rachel ZoubriNETZKY

Rachel ZoubriNETZKY is an Associate Researcher and contractual teacher-researcher (50% position) at Grenoble Alpes University since 2021, affiliated with the Laboratory of Psychology and NeuroCognition (LPNC). She simultaneously maintains a clinical role as a specialist neuropsychologist at the Reference Center for Language and Learning Disorders at the Couple-Child Hospital, CHU Grenoble since 2010.

Her educational background includes:

• 2015: PhD in Psychology from University Pierre Mendès France (now Grenoble Alpes University), with thesis on "Cognitive Heterogeneity and Remediation of Developmental Dyslexias" under Sylviane Valdois at LPNC
• 2010: Master 2 Research in Neurocognition and Social Cognition: modeling and evaluation
• 2008: Master 2 Professional in Neuropsychology from University of Savoie
• Licensed Specialist Neuropsychology Psychologist (ADELI: 389306325)

ZoubriNETZKY's research centers on language processing, cognitive development, and neurodevelopmental disorders, with particular emphasis on oral language comprehension, executive functions, written language acquisition, visuo-attentional span, and developmental dyslexia. Her work bridges theoretical cognitive psychology with practical clinical applications, investigating how visual attention span deficits relate to reading difficulties and developing remediation approaches for children with dyslexia. She examines educational implications, exploring how teachers can better support students with learning disorders across various educational settings.

Her publication record shows consistent focus on developmental dyslexia with evolution from analyzing subtypes to developing assessment protocols like the COMPRENDRE PROTOCOL for oral language comprehension in young children. Recent work includes cross-linguistic studies examining visual attention span in Arabic reading, demonstrating her expanding research scope beyond French orthography. Her articles consistently address the intersection of cognitive mechanisms and practical educational interventions.

As an educator, ZoubriNETZKY supervises research theses for the Master's in Child Neuropsychology and teaches across multiple psychology programs including undergraduate cognitive psychology courses and specialized neuropsychology training. Her teaching spans Grenoble Alpes University, Savoie-Mont-Blanc University, and the Grenoble Institute of Teacher Education, covering developmental dyslexia, motor coordination disorders, and cognitive assessment techniques.

At the Reference Center for Language and Learning Disorders, she conducts comprehensive neuropsychological assessments for children with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and ADHD. She provides educational recommendations, accommodations, and supervises neuropsychology interns while organizing professional training sessions in collaboration with the Coridys Association to translate research findings into clinical practice.
