Introduction
My research is focused on ADHD, and more broadly the development of attention/executive function/emotion regulation.

Objective: To validate a residual-based cognitive reserve (CR) index optimized for a pediatric sample with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method: Participants were N = 115 children aged 9.5–13 years at baseline (Mage = 10.48 years, SDage = 0.61), and n = 43 (37.4%) met criteria for ADHD. Elastic-net regularized linear regression w...
Background
Cognitive reserve (CR) is thought to be protective against late‐life cognitive decline induced by neurodegenerative disease and other forms of neurological insult. Although CR is thought to be influenced by early life experiences, information about its development during childhood and adolescence is lacking. The current study operational...
Research utilising handedness as a proxy for atypical language lateralisation has invoked the latter to explain increased mental health difficulties in left‐/mixed‐handed children. The current study investigated unique associations between handedness and language lateralisation, handedness and mental health, and language lateralisation and mental h...
Background
Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience sleep difficulties such as difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep. Problem sleep may impact children’s daily functioning and behaviors and exacerbate ADHD symptoms. Most effective behavioral interventions to improve sleep are conducted in person, limiting...
Objective:
To model cognitive reserve (CR) longitudinally in a neurodiverse pediatric sample using a residual index approach, and to test the criterion and construct validity of this index.
Method:
Participants were N = 115 children aged 9.5-13 years at baseline (MAge = 10.48 years, SDAge = 0.61), and n = 43 (37.4%) met criteria for ADHD. The CR...
Background
Cognitive reserve (CR) is thought to protect cognitive ability against neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, or other neurological insults. Because past research has studied the construct extensively in older adult populations, little is known about its development across the lifespan. The current study generated a d...
Objective
To evaluate intervention characteristics and components within behavioral sleep interventions in school-aged children with ADHD and examine evidence related to effectiveness.
Method
A systematic review was conducted using PsycINFO, Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, and OpenGray. The subsequent meta-analysis used sleep outcomes to produce comparab...
Aim
To determine predictors of full‐scale IQ (FSIQ) in an international pediatric opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome (OMS) cohort.
Method
In this retrospective and prospective cohort study at three academic medical centers (2006–2013), the primary outcome measure, FSIQ, was categorized based on z‐score: above average (≥+1), average (+1 to –1), mildly i...
