Prior to my appointment at Western, I served as an assistant professor at Michigan State University and as a clinical director in the ABA/Autism programs at private agencies. I am a licensed psychologist in Michigan and a board-certified behavior analyst. I conduct collaborative research with researchers in US, Asia, and Canada. My research focuses on behavioral intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder.
My current ongoing projects:
- Implementing a computer-assisted naming instruction in special education classrooms
- Teaching symbolic play behaviors to children with autism spectrum disorder
