Major Areas of Interest
In 1986, I started my teaching career in Palm Beach County, Florida where I taught students with mild disabilities at the secondary level. After graduating from the University of Florida in 1998, I took my first university position at Louisiana State University. In 2002, I moved to Georgia State University. My focus at GSU is on instructional and transition strategies for youths with mild disabilities at the secondary level with a particular focus on juvenile justice. Areas of interest include: (1) juvenile justice reform, (2) reading and writing strategies in juvenile justice and secondary school settings, and (3) transition services and policies in juvenile justice and secondary school settings.
