My research interests took me in two directions: a) developing and evaluating educational models and instructional strategies for students with moderate, severe and multiple disabilities; and b) evaluating components of teacher preparation for students with moderate and severe disabilities. I have received funding to investigate longitudinal models for vocational programming to promote successful transition for persons with moderate and severe disabilities into post school employment. Additionally, I focused on adolescents and adults with severe multiple disabilities, identifying successful strategies for identifying and securing community employment. I was also involved with schools in developing inclusive educational programs for all students regardless of their disabilities.
