    RESEARCH INTERESTS

    My research interests include the study of students' perceived social support and how that support is related to their adjustment and academic achievement, how social support may be important for victims of bullying and for bullies, the study of curriculum-based measurement (CBM) in writing and reading, and innovative school psychological services delivery (problem-solving and response to invervention).
