Biography

I received my Ed.D. in Special Education from Northern Illinois University. I came to Kent State from the University of Alberta in 1984. I have served KSU as a past Assistant and Associate Dean of the College and Graduate School of Education and as a past Associate Dean of Libraries. I currently serve as a Professor of Special Education with my teaching focus in research, behavior analysis and persons with severe disabilities (i.e., Moderate/Intensive). My research interests are single-subject research design, applied behavior analysis, technology applications, and web based instruction. I frequently teach courses in single-subject research design, curriculum moderate/ intensive, special topics seminar in SPED, and Classroom Behavior Management in the summer. I have been director or co-director of 33 grants funded for a total of $4.5M. My work has been published in many refereed journals, some of which include, Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, Behavior Therapist, Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities, JASH, Exceptional Children, Mental Retardation & Learning Disabilities Bulletin, Mental Retardation, CHANGE, Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, Education of the Visually Handicapped, and the Journal of Mental Deficiency Research. I have also contributed 16 book chapters and have presented more than 150 papers at national or international conferences. Some of my most satisfying work has been collaborative research projects with my doctoral, masters and undergraduate students. My research interests include:

1.  SPED
2.  Use of differential reinforcement techniques (DRO, DRI, DRA, DRL, DRH)
3.  Use of Social Validation in single subject research
4.  Use of Social narratives used with students diagnosed with Autism (and others), including social narratives written by students
5.  Use of distance technology with students diagnosed with Autism
6.  Use of iPad technology to record student behaviors
