My present research is focused on understanding challenging behavior in children with CHARGE syndrome, a relatively rare genetic syndrome with multiple affects. I am trying to find out to what extent the behavior is due to genes, early medical experiences, sensory loss, and parent-child interaction. My initial papers sought to identify the nature and extent of the behaviors, and to distinguish the behaviors from children with autism and those with deafblindness. Current projects look at issues of sleep, play, and anxiety. Also we are looking at patterns of ability in children with CHARGE, post-traumatic growth in parents, mindfulness interventions, and developing restorative environments. I am also interested in how parents and families cope with having a child with severe disabilities, along with issues of loss.
