Education
Case Western Reserve University, 1995
Research Interests
Educational psychology, learning disabilities, quantitative methods and research design, reading and language comprehension.
Current Research
Individual differences in reading skill development. Specifically, I am interested in the identification of skills that are related to the acquisition of reading ability and the use of these skills to identify children who are at-risk for early reading problems. I also have a strong interest in research design, measurement, and statistical methodology with a particular focus on multi-level modeling and item response theory.
Lab Description
Development of reading skills; prediction and identification of children with reading disabilities; research design, measurement, and quantitative methods such as hierarchical linear modeling item response theory models.
