My research investigates social psychological processes underlying positive motivational experience. Most recently I am investigating the social inclusion experiences of people with developmental disabilities. Social inclusion goes beyond integrating with non-disabled community members, to emphasize meaningful participation in community life and interpersonal relationships outside the family.

Social inclusion is also the center of my community engaged course, 鈥淣eurodiversity and Community Inclusion.鈥 Students enrolled in the course engage in an extended service learning project in which collaborate with neurodivergent community members at local organizations.
