Research Biography
I am an associate professor in the Department of Special Education and am currently involved in a variety of projects related to reading and literacy development. I have worked with several school districts on district-wide reading initiatives. I teach courses in language and reading disabilities. My research is focused on reading acquisition and the prevention of reading disabilities through effective early instruction; intervention for struggling readers; teacher education, especially in literacy; and learning disabilities across the lifespan.
