Primary Concentration: Developmental Science
Secondary Concentration: Cognitive Psychology
My main research interests are in language and cognition in individuals with intellectual disabilities. I look for areas of strength as well as areas of specific weakness, how they impact higher-level cognitive/language function, and what implications there are for intervention. I have a special focus on Down syndrome.
Research Interests:
- language and cognition in individuals with intellectual disabilities, especially Down syndrome; early cognitive aging in youth with Down syndrome; reading and mathematical abilities in Down syndrome; peer experience of adolescents with Down syndrome
