[00:00:00.000]I focus on students with emotional and behavioral disorders, and
[00:00:03.203]literacy instruction, so I
[00:00:05.105]I want to blend the two
[00:00:06.539]of really helping that population of students who either
[00:00:09.476]are at risk for emotional and behavioral
[00:00:11.611]disorders. Stuff like, um,
[00:00:13.780]ADHD sometimes falls into that
[00:00:15.448]category depending on who you talk to, but like,
[00:00:17.584]oppositional defiant disorder, um,
[00:00:20.020]post-traumatic stress,
[00:00:21.554]uh, anxiety, depression, those kinds of things.
[00:00:24.024]But then al-
[00:00:24.824]So helping them with behavior management skills,
[00:00:27.360]but also with
[00:00:28.561]strengthening their literacy because
[00:00:30.196]um, the co-occurrence is really
[00:00:33.066]high for students who either have reading challenges
[00:00:35.835]and who also struggle with, um,
[00:00:37.871]behavioral challenges or vice versa.
[00:00:40.273]And so I want to be able to provide
[00:00:41.708]them with
[00:00:42.909]both supports at the same time.
[00:00:45.011]So, my dissertation is, um,
[00:00:46.579]I'm designing an intervention program called PIERS,
[00:00:49.115]Phonics Instruction and Emotion Regulation Strategies.
[00:00:52.552]So, it's a combination of
[00:00:54.954]um
[00:00:55.588]systematic phonics instruction with embedded
[00:00:57.824]self-regulation strategies that come from
[00:01:00.693]um, a trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, um,
[00:01:04.597]repertoire, which is
[00:01:05.432]more of a
[00:01:06.366]a clinical model, um,
[00:01:07.834]for private practice for students who have been through trauma.
[00:01:10.370]I want to
[00:01:11.905]help them
[00:01:13.039]embed those skills that are normally, um,
[00:01:16.076]used in the practitioner setting or like in the private-practice setting,
[00:01:19.612]to integrate them
[00:01:20.580]into school appropriately
[00:01:21.948]so they can use those self-management strategies, they can
[00:01:24.551]use things to
[00:01:25.552]calm their anxiety, um, or like,
[00:01:28.154]um, reduce their frustration
[00:01:30.023]specifically in an academic setting
[00:01:31.825]so that they can, um,
[00:01:33.726]they can use it in context.
[00:01:35.528]Ideally, I would love to be able to
[00:01:38.098]put research-based practices
[00:01:39.632]into the hands of teachers,
[00:01:40.733]into the hands of parents who are
[00:01:42.502]who may not know about them,
[00:01:43.403]or may not have the time to implement them,
[00:01:45.171]and make it
[00:01:45.905]feasible for them to implement in their classroom
[00:01:48.007]or feasible for them to use at home.
[00:01:50.076]So it's not just a bunch of extra work
[00:01:51.711]for them to read papers
[00:01:52.979]or for them to look up
[00:01:54.647]programs, go to seminars,
[00:01:56.249]but they can make it accessi-
[00:01:57.851]ma-, to make it accessible for parents and teachers
[00:02:00.954]to help their students
[00:02:03.123]and their children who are struggling with
[00:02:04.824]with reading, writing, but also
[00:02:06.092]with, um, behavioral management.
