About the Lab
The Childhood Neurodevelopmental Disorders Lab under the direction of Dr. Stephanie Smith conducts research examining risk and resilience factors of externalizing behaviors in children and adolescents and how to augment intervention and prevention efforts for these youths. We are also interested in using technology to enhance the delivery of evidence-based treatments and applying state-of-the-art EEG methods to clinical research.

Inclusivity and Belonging Statement: Through our work in this lab, we strive to foster a welcoming environment in both our research and through our respect and support for one another. We are committed to cultivating a sense of inclusion and belonging through mentorship and collaboration regardless of a person's background, lived experiences or perspectives. We aim to support an inclusive environment for children, adolescents, and adults with Neurodevelopmental Disorders and view neurodiversity as a core part of identity. We acknowledge that we are consistently learning how to promote and support inclusion and belonging through our research and clinical work.
