Over the last 25 years she has sought to expand her knowledge and practice of ABA in her work with children of all ages and skill levels, their families, and in the training of others in ABA. Her research interests include exploring how ABA can help improve outcomes for children whose behavior has been shaped through adverse experiences and training behavior analysts and teachers to employ conceptually systematic and trauma-informed behavior analytic approaches.
