Early Childhood Special Education; Early Intervention; Social Emotional Development; Challenging Behaviors; Autism Spectrum Disorders; Developmental Disabilities; Family-Centered Practices; Mixed Methods Research
My research focuses on supporting the social-emotional development for young children with disabilities. Specifically, I examine factors that influence implementation and intervention fidelity for education professionals and caregivers in implementing evidence-based practices. Another area of my research focus is on intervention frameworks that promote culturally responsive, family-centered practices in early intervention and early childhood education settings to maximize children's learning opportunities in natural environments. I use mixed methods research approaches to answer research questions.
