Behavior Disorders Research Team
Team meetings: Wednesdays 2 PM in INV 408
Team Leaders: Robert Volpe and Amy Briesch
The Behavior Disorders Research Team (BDRT) is comprised of two school psychology faculty members (Drs. Robert J. Volpe and Amy M. Briesch), and doctoral- and specialist-level students in the school psychology programs at Northeastern University. Over the course of conducting our research and service learning projects, the BDRT has established strong relationships with several area schools where much of our research is taking place. Our research team offers students opportunities to provide service to children, families, and school systems. Moreover, BDRT students gain understanding for applied research in school psychology. At present our research team is involved in evaluating academic and behavioral interventions, evaluating the psychometric properties of assessment tools, and developing efficient and psychometrically adequate assessment tools to inform intervention.
