Current Projects

Project ELISA (Early Literacy Intervention with Supports for Attention)

We are examining the behavioral and academic effects of an early literacy intervention designed specifically for kindergarten children with attention problems. This study is being conducted in two public schools in Boston.

Project Polychrest

In this project we are evaluating the psychometric properties of brief progress monitoring measures which have been designed for monitoring the effects of medical and behavioral interventions for ADHD. These data now are being analyzed.

Tutoring Buddy

In this study we are evaluating the effects of an incremental rehearsal intervention on letter sound fluency using a computerized tutoring aid. We hope to collect data on this project in spring 2009.
