Susan Assouline, PhD

Professor Emerita
Belin-Blank Center At University Of Iowa, Iowa

Susan G. Assouline is the director emerita of the Belin-Blank Center and the Emerita Professor of School Psyychology. Throughout her career, she has been especially interested in the psychological principle of individual differences, which serves as a platform for the Belin-Blank Center’s research (with Megan Foley-Nicpon, Belin-Blank Center Director) iin the area of twice-exceptionality. The Center’s twice-exceptional research started in 2005 with a three-year Javits Grant awarded to investigate the characteristics of twice-exceptional students, specifically those with learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorder.

She also completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship with the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY) at Johns Hopkins University, which was the impetus for investigations and programming related to academic talent in elementary students and academic acceleration as an intervention for advanced students. In 2015, she co-edited with Nicholas Colangelo, Joyce Van Tassel-Baska, and Ann Lupkowski-Shoplik, A Nation Empowered: Evidence Trumps the Excuses Holding Back America’s Brightest Students. She received the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) 2016 Distinguished Scholar Award, the 2018 University of Iowa Award for Faculty Excellence, and the 2019 University of Iowa Leadership in Research Award. In 2019 she was inducted into the Bridges Twice-Exceptional Academy of Fame.
