In general, my research focuses on brain and behavior in children with developmental disabilities. Specifically, I am interested in the effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol and other substances and study these using neuropsychological and neuroimaging techniques. Recent studies have focused on specifiying the neurobehavioral profile of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), examining aspects of attention and response inhibition in children with FASD, and examining cogntion in a rare genetic condition known as Jacobsen syndrome (11q terminal deletion disorder).
