Author Biography

MICHELLE DUNN, Ph.D., is a pediatric neuropsychologist, who has worked with children on the autism spectrum for the past 25 years. She began as a special education teacher and went on to a career in research on brain-behavior relationships in children with developmental disabilities and a clinical practice in neuropsychology. She is first and foremost a teacher. Her great joy is in translating what she has learned from research into practice. Dunn has written numerous journal articles and book chapters about children on the autism spectrum and has provided staff training to many school districts. She calls New York her home, where she lives with her husband and two daughters, who often assist her in social skills intervention sessions.
