Research Interests:

My research involves extending the findings of basic-oriented research to improve behavioral interventions for young children. The goal of this research is to not only to develop effective practices, but to also extend our knowledge of the processes that result in behavior change. Some of these focus areas involve expanding the range and efficacy of reinforcing stimuli for children with developmental disabilities, developing effective stimulus-control procedures to minimize children’s disruptions during group instruction, and establishing verbal repertoires with children with language delays.
