ST&amp;D is an international organization for researchers and scholars who study all aspects of text and discourse. Dr. Stiegler-Balfour presented research on the use of audiobooks in educational settings to enhance accessibility for diverse learners. The study investigated comprehension differences across three modalities \u2014 reading, listening, and reading while listening \u2014 while also assessing levels of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder among college students. Their analysis and findings suggested that individuals with higher levels of the disorder benefit from reading while listening over reading or listening alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/rcclab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/std-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-903\" style=\"width:402px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/rcclab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/std-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/rcclab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/std-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/rcclab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/std-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/rcclab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/std-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/rcclab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2025\/10\/std.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer Stiegler-Balfour, Ph.D presents Reading, Listening, or Reading-While-Listening to stories: Exploring the Role of ADHD Symptoms &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-901","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>UNE&#039;s Dr. Stiegler-Balfour presents at the 35th annual Society for Text &amp;
