Currently, she is focused on developing research in the area of disability awareness education; more specifically preparing elementary school age children with and without disabilities to interact with one another, respect and appreciate differences through use of general education curriculum models. She is working on developing these programs with public schools in the process of improving their inclusion programs, as well as with schools that serve students with mental illness. She also teaches Research Methods for 2nd year Child Psychiatry Fellows and co-ordinates the IJR intellectual exchange series.
