Prior to my appointment at Western, I served as an assistant professor at Michigan State University and as a clinical director in the ABA/Autism programs at private agencies. I am a licensed psychologist in Michigan and a board-certified behavior analyst. I conduct collaborative research with researchers in US, Asia, and Canada. My research focuses on behavior-analytic intervention for children on the autism spectrum and/or other developmental disabilities. I recently started a new line of research on behavior-analytic foreign language instruction for neurotypical learners.

My current ongoing projects:

  1. A virtual reality-based social skills instruction for young children on the autism spectrum

  2. A computer-assisted instructional system to establish bidirectional naming for students with developmental disabilities

  3. Improving social skills for children on the autism spectrum through play activities
