I am behavior analyst, interested in evaluating and applying the principles of behavior to address a variety of socially significant issues.  My research interests include the assessment and treatment of behavior problems displayed by children and adults with intellectual disabilities, behavioral parent training, and large scale evaluations of behavioral interventions.  I have also conducted behavioral research in the areas of child welfare and gerontology.
