Meet Dr. Terrence Dolan

Chicagoland author Dr. Terrence Dolan is passionate about the research and treatment of developmental disabilities, particularly in young people. He was elected President of the Association of Mental Retardation Research Centers in the United States, President of the American Association of University Programs for People with Disabilities, and President of the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities while serving as Director of the Waisman Center at the University of Wisconsin–Madison for 20 prosperous years.

Dr. Dolan was then recruited by Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz of the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia to develop The Prince Salman Center for Disability Research, a national research and treatment center on childhood diseases and disabilities, and the first such center in the Middle East outside of Israel. This life-changing experience where he witnessed how medicine, religion, and culture can collide inspired Dr. Dolan to write Children of the Kingdom: Bridging Genetics and Islam to Save the Newborns of Saudi Arabia by S. Woodhouse Books, a nonfiction imprint of Everything Goes Media, LLC.
