Research interests
I am interested in diagnosis/assessment and behavior/psychiatric problems in individuals with developmental disabilities. Along with colleagues and graduate students I have been involved in (a) the development and evaluation of screening and diagnostic instruments for ASD and (b) the assessment and treatment of behavior and emotional problems in children with ASD or ID.
