My research interests are in developmental and pediatric clinical neuropsychology.

Particular areas of interest include aspects of cognitive processing such as attention, memory, and executive functions. Clinical populations of interest are children with ADHD, acquired brain injury, and prenatal alcohol exposure.

My clinical interests are in learning approaches and pediatric cognitive rehabilitation as well as child & family social and emotional functioning.
