coe-staff: Appointment of Laura Lee McIntyre as SPECS Department Head

[Randy Kamphaus]

Dear Faculty and Staff,

We are also fortunate that Laura Lee has agreed to serve as department head for another year. We need her experienced hand during these challenging times.

Although we all have some familiarity with Laura Lee’s career, I think that it is important to remind ourselves of the quality of leadership we have in our college. See her brief bio below. We now have a full complement of capable academic leaders to provide us with both stability and vision next year – Laura Lee, Beth, Jenefer Husman, and Keith Zvoch. Working in concert with our highly effective deans and staff, we are poised for another year of extraordinary achievement.

Laura Lee McIntyre is Professor in the Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences and Director of the Prevention Science Institute at the University of Oregon. McIntyre's research involves early identification and treatment of childhood developmental and behavioral problems, with an emphasis on the multiple systems of care that support children (e.g., families, schools, healthcare). Over the past 20 years, McIntyre's work has focused on understanding and promoting parent and child well-being in families with children with developmental delays or disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder. Her professional background blends the fields of school psychology, special education, and pediatric child clinical psychology and centers on the early identification and treatment of childhood developmental and behavioral problems. She has funding from NICHD, NIMH, NIDILRR, and IES to support this work. McIntyre is the President of the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and past president of the American Psychological Association’s Division on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities/Autism Spectrum Disorder. She is a licensed psychologist and board certified behavior analyst.

I look forward to working with Laura Lee and the SPECS faculty as they continue to achieve at the highest levels of the special education, communications disorders and sciences, and school psychology disciplines.

Regards,

Randy
