Interests and Activities:
My interests principally lie in understanding the range of internal and external factors that influence human development. As such, my research record has covered topics involving both normal and abnormal developmental influences and outcomes. Studies have involved children and adults with a broad range of neurodevelopmental disabilities as well as addressing influences on families and interactions with systems of education and programmatic rehabilitation. Current research emphases include late effects of traumatic brain injury and comparative analyses of adults with learning disability and borderline intellectual functioning.
