Research Interests:
My research interests cover the following areas: pediatric psychology (e.g., adolescents with physical disabilities), family relations during early and late adolescence, developmental psychopathology, the interface between developmental psychology and clinical child psychology, statistical applications in psychology, and research design. My current research is concerned with how families of children with chronic physical conditions manage the transition into adolescence and the implications that this transition has for adolescent health and psychopathology.
I am currently working on 2 grant-funded projects. The first study is a NICHD-funded 5-year longitudinal investigation of young adolescents with spina bifida and focuses on their peer relationships and neuropsychological difficulties (and includes a Spanish-speaking subsample). Spina bifida is a congenital birth defect that typically produces a host of medical problems, including urinary, orthopedic, and neurological difficulties. Families are studied in their homes with observational, interview, formal assessment, and questionnaire methodologies. Most of my time is currently devoted to this study. The second study is funded by Kiwanis International and examines the effectiveness of a camp-based independence program for children, adolescents, and young adults with spina bifida.
