Biography

I am interested in promoting early childhood development and behavior. This clinical interest takes the following forms: ~ Early childhood developmental and behavioral assessments, including for autism spectrum disorders ~ Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) follow-up I am also interested in public-private collaborations that promote these clinical interests, specifically: ~ Working with primary care providers in meeting the developmental and behavioral health needs of young children ~ Working with early childhood education and care providers and related stakeholders in meeting the developmental and behavioral health needs of young children ~ Working with early childhood mental health providers and related stakeholders in meeting identified behavioral health concerns of young children

Research

~ Early childhood screening practices within primary care pediatrics for development, autism and behavioral health (mental health, social-emotional well-being) ~ Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) follow-up ~ Early childhood behavioral (mental) health: Promotion of a healthy start in the newborn, infant, toddler and preschool years ~ Early childhood behavioral (mental) health: Addressing emerging issues in the newborn, infant, toddler and preschool years
