  • Program or Teaching
    • Ongoing Coordination and Development of an Autism Specialization within the Early Intervention Program. We have been working closely with Dr. Cynthia Johnson in the Department of Pediatrics and Director of the Autism Center at Children's Hospital.
    • Ongoing Coordination and Development of a certification program in Applied Behavior Analysis with faculty from the Departments of Psychiatry and Pediatrics in the School of Medicine.
    • Ongoing coordination and development of a five year program with Applied Developmental Psychology leading to certifications in Early Childhood Education and Special Education and an M.Ed. in the fifth year. I chaired the committee responsible for revising the program in accordance with the new state certification standards. I also developed the proposal for Department, School, and University approval of the program and was the program representative who presented the program and new courses to the SOE Academic Affairs Committee and School Council.
    • I continue to be involved in the UCLID Center. My primary involvement there is to coordinate a course in the Fall that includes other members of the UCLID faculty, community providers, and parents and siblings of individuals with disabilities.
