    Research Overview

  • My research interests are in methods to increase the efficiency of skill acquisition programming for children with developmental disabilities using behavior-analytic technologies. I have a secondary interest in phylogenically selected social behavior (e.g., laughter) and methods to arrange for prosocial behavior (e.g., cooperative contingencies).

    • Teaching Overview

  • I predominantly teach coursework in the undergraduate- and graduate-level Behavior Analytic concentration. At the undergraduate level, I teach courses in the BCaBA verified course sequence and Applied Behavior Analysis and Developmental/Intellectual Disabilities minor. At the graduate level, I teach courses in the BCBA verified course sequence and doctoral program. I supervise numerous practicum experiences for both undergraduate and graduate students in the provision of behavior-analytic interventions to individuals with developmental disabilities.
