Doctoral student Kirsten Lansey is one of the most industrious students we know. To begin, the first of her three dissertation studies — Training and Coaching: Impact on Peer Mentor Fidelity and Behavior of Postsecondary Students with Autism and Intellectual Disability, written with Professor Shirin Antia, Assistant Professor of Practice Stephanie MacFarland, and Professor Emeritus John Umbreit — was published in Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities.
Next, Lansing was selected as an outstanding scholar through an internationally competitive review process which resulted in her appointment to 13th cohort of the Council for Exceptional Children's Division for Research Doctoral Student Scholars.
