Office: 
Room 541
Current research: 

I have several areas of inquiry that broadly fall underneath an umbrella of Intervening with Vulnerable Populations (more specifically, developing, conducting, and evaluating interventions) for families and infants, children, youth, and young adults that are vulnerable for a myriad number of reasons, including developmental disabilities/delays (DD), parental stressors, parental psychopathology, parental functioning, Ìýprocesses of care, radicalization, learning disabilities, and behaviour disorders. The interventions and evaluations thereof are examined in light of Canadian policy and worldwide shifts in service delivery systems. ÌýMy research program on early intervention,Ìýin particular, focuses upon (a) longitudinal analyses of family and child functioning while participating in diverse forms of service delivery (e.g., school-based services, intensive and comprehensive services delivered via not-for-profit organizations, public rehabilitation centers); (b) understanding and investigating early intervention services across Canada; and (c) engaging policymakers in moving forward an agenda that promotes a consensus with respect to policies that affect families and children with DD. ÌýBeyondÌýmy focus on families who have children with developmental disabilities/delays, and looking at families andÌýchildren with an autism spectrum disorder, more specifically, Ìýmy research endeavours rangeÌýfrom -- promoting literacy development in infants to radicalization of youth, to how we can support youth with learning disabilities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, to investigating affective computing. My program of research has been funded by several agencies including; ³Ù³ó±ðÌýSocial Sciences Humanities Research Council,Ìý³Ù³ó±ðÌýMax Bell Foundation,Ìý³Ù³ó±ðÌýOffice of Disability Issues,Ìý³Ù³ó±ðÌýCanadian Institute of Health Research,ÌýMiriam Home Foundation,Ìý³Ù³ó±ð Spencer Foundation, Brain Canada, Bell Canada, and rehabilitation centers in Quebec.
