Teaching:

I teach both graduate and undergraduate Courses (practicum sites link included). At any time courses may be viewed according to the current course number. Just place the cursor on the highlighted word 'courses' and click. You will come across a menu of courses. Click on those and you will be able to see the syllabus. In time, a brief description of the course will be available.

 

However, one ought to get a good idea of what will take place in the course by looking at the syllabus. There are practicum sites on a separate page from the syllabi. This page, at the present time, can be reached by clicking on the “Courses” link as above. In addition, there is a page devoted to Internship sites, which can be accessed by clicking on the “Courses” link, as well.

 

Research:

Current research involves working with two University Scholars. Topics involved in these are "attitudes towards persons with disabilities on the part of employers" and "students with disabilities and accessibility." In addition, I am working two other students on research in the area of "attitudes towards persons with disabilities" and "vocational assessment and evaluation techniques." I also am currently working on research in "spirituality in rehabilitation."
