Scholarship
I conduct clinical research on adolescents with ADHD. Our research team at the Alvin V. Baird Attention & Learning Disabilities Center conducts federally funded treatment outcome research and other studies addressing topics such as social impairment, cultural barriers to care, and assessment issues with this population. The treatment studies usually involve multimodal treatment involving school based mental health services, mental health professionals and physicians.
