Biography
I achieved my Doctorate in Educational Psychology in 1996 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a major in School Psychology, a minor in Cognition and Learning, and a minor in Educational Administration. I have been teaching at the university level since 1995 and have achieved tenure at Chapman University and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. My research, writing, and presentations include the topics of direct academic assessment, school-based consultation, methods for assessing response to intervention, selective mutism, and child psychopharmacology.
• Development of a manual and methods for the treatment of selective mutism
• Development of a measure of other-esteem
• Meta-analytic applications of single-case outcome effect sizes
• Validation of criterion based single-case outcome methods
• Exploration of the validity of cognitive processing assessment
