Abstract
Dr. Cindy Okolo is a professor emerita in the Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology, and Special Education at Michigan State University. Throughout her career, Dr. Okolo’s scholarship has focused on the academic and behavioral outcomes of students with disabilities through the implementation of technology in the classroom. Her work has involved the development and use of digital literacy tools, the development and implementation of virtual learning tools for teaching history and social studies, the exploration of universal design for learning (UDL), and the preparation of teachers to become technology leaders in education. Dr. Okolo’s research revolves around students with disabilities in middle school, particularly inclusive classrooms that include children and youth with and without disabilities.
期刊介绍:
Intervention in School and Clinic is practitioner-oriented and designed to provide practical, research-based ideas to educators who work with students with severe learning disabilities and emotional/behavioral problems. Emphasis is placed on strategies and techniques that can be easily implemented in school or clinic settings and address the multifaceted needs of students with severe LD and emotional/behavioral problems. Specifically, articles should target curricular, instructional, social, behavioral, assessment, and vocational strategies and techniques and have direct application to the classroom setting.
