Nicole Rodriguez, PhD

Nicole Rodriguez, PhD, director of the early intervention program in the integrated Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (iCASD) at the Munroe-Meyer Institute has been named an associate editor at the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis. Her new role will begin in September.

Dr. Rodriguez also is director of the PhD program in Applied Behavior Analysis at UNMC.

Dr. Rodriguez’s research interests are largely guided by her clinical work in early intervention and autism spectrum disorders. Much of her research is applied in that it has a direct clinical impact on the children and families who serve as participants. She is also interested in translational research that allows for a better understanding of the processes that underlie the efficacy of procedures.
