Description of Clinical Expertise
15a I am a clinical child psychologist with a specialization in assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, intellectual disorder). I also provide behavioral and cognitive-behavioral treatments to reduce behavior problems, anxiety, and cognitive rigidity in youth with autism spectrum disorders.71
Description of Research Expertise
1ed My research focuses on the non-social aspects of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), including core symptoms of repetitive behaviors and common difficulties with attention, and executive function. I am interested in discovering the underlying biology so we may develop more precise treatments for children with ASD. I most commonly use neurocognitive measures, functional MRI, and resting state MRI, but also have ongoing questions that integrate genetic and eye tracking methods.e 7 1d 1f
