Bio/Research
My research program revolves around constructs related to self-regulation. There are three research lines that constitute my research program. First, the bulk of my current research focuses on questions about self-regulation and physical activity behaviors of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This central line of my research program explores issues related to development, learning, performance and teaching in a variety of different contexts (e.g., school, clinic, community, home). I am the Director of the CHAMPS physical activity lab at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute. “CHAMPS” stands for Choices in Health, Action, Motivation, Pedagogy and Skills and my lab operates in partnership with the ADHD clinic at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute. The second line of the research program investigates instructional effectiveness and/or treatment interventions for the movement skill proficiency of all children, including children with movement and attention difficulties. Last, but certainly not least, the third line of my research program explores the perceptions and professional skill development of physical education teachers. Quantitative, qualitative or mixed research methodologies will be used to shed light on the research questions of interest.
