| Hi! I am very happy to be your
instructor for the TechLink course on
Self-Management Strategies. I am an Associate
Professor in Special Education at Vanderbilt
University. This is my ninth year at Vanderbilt
and I teach courses in secondary transition,
severe disabilities, and classroom management. I
received my doctorate in transition and special
education from the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign in 1990 where I also worked in
the Transition Research Institute. Previously, I
taught general and special education in Montana
for 10 years. My research is in the areas of
self-management and self-determination, social
interaction, and community integration for people
with disabilities. I have three federally-funded
research grants: the Metropolitan Nashville Peer
Buddy Program, which increases social interaction
between general and special education students in
11 comprehensive high schools in Nashville;
Teaching Students to Include Themselves, which
teaches students self-determination skills to
increase their inclusion in general education;
and Project OUTCOME, which provides educational
and employment services to high school students
in Nashville who are from high-poverty
backgrounds. |
