I received my B.A. in Psychology and
English Literature from SUNY at Buffalo in 1977. In 1986, I received
my M.S. in Education of the Hearing-Impaired from Canisius College
in Buffalo, New York. Subsequently, I worked at the Florida School
for the Deaf for two years, and then at St. Mary's School for the
Deaf for three years. In 1996, I received my Ph.D. in Special Education
from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have been
at the University of South Carolina since the Fall of 1996.
My research interests include language and communication intervention
for individuals with severe disabilities, functional assessment
and positive behavior support, special education law, language
and deafness, and teacher training and retention.
I currently teach courses in applied behavior analysis, functional
assessment, language intervention for individuals with severe
disabilities, and introduction to deafness.
