She started her career as a special education teacher for children with disabilities and complex communication needs, and continued on to academia obtaining a degree in Special Education from Penn State University. Her research focuses on autism, developmental disabilities, paraeducators, augmentative and alternative communication including interventions and technologies to support social and communication skill development for children with disabilities.
