Research Interests
My program of research focuses on identifying evidence-based academic and behavioral interventions and the conditions under which they work for school-age children. I think about interventions within multi-tiered systems of support, a prevention-oriented framework for addressing disparities in academic, behavioral, and mental-health outcomes of students in schools. I conceptualize interventions from a behavior analytic perspective.
Methodologically, I investigate interventions in two ways. First, I have engaged in applied research on academic and behavioral interventions using single-case experimental design (SCEDs). I am experienced in designing and implementing a variety of SCEDs, including adapted alternating treatments designs, multiple baseline designs, and withdrawal designs. Second, I have engaged in systematic reviews/meta-analyses of academic and behavioral interventions, with a special focus on studies that have employed SCEDs. My published meta-analyses often incorporate cutting-edge quantitative analyses, such as using new and improved effect size measures, combining the results of between-groups experiments and SCEDs in the same meta-analysis, and including multiple effect size measures per study while accounting for the resulting dependency among effect size measures from the same study.
