Associate Director, University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD)
My research focuses on improving behavioral and social outcomes for children and youth experiencing disability, with an emphasis on individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). My current research focuses on paraeducator professional development, student-teacher relationships, special education teacher burnout, and promoting equity and inclusion for those with disabilities in school and community settings. I am particularly interested in the development of interventions and strategies that are low-effort and can be embedded in classroom or community systems already in place.
