- Dr. Leslie Dawn MacKay: "Dr. MacKay studied the effectiveness of two early speech and language curriculums that use Aboriginal toys and stories to enhance language development of kindergarteners. Results indicated that there were significantly stronger results for the curriculum that included explicit early literacy instruction. Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students responded similarly. Additionally, teachers liked using both programs and found they included appropriate cultural content." (November 2011)
- Dr. Yvonne Julia Martinez: "Dr. Martinez developed and validated a teacher-reported measure for the early identification of selective mutism. She also found that children with the disorder have elevated symptoms of social and school anxiety. The use of a teacher-reported measure may reduce the lag time between symptom onset and treatment referral for children with the disorder." (November 2011)
- Dr. Aviva Mia Laye-Gindhu: "Dr. Laye-Gindhu studied nonsuicidal self-injury,a prevalent and risky coping behaviour, among street-involved teens in British Columbia.This research contributes to the growing understanding of nonsuicidal self-injury and highlights the value of focusing on positive factors in intervention to protect against the extreme risk in these teens' lives." (November 2011)
- Dr. Carla Merkel: "Dr. LeHouillier examined mothers? experiences with their child?s psychoeducational assessment. The findings from this study expand previous work in the area of maternal involvement and satisfaction with the psychoeducational assessment process and have implications for how psychologists and educators can improve best practice in their assessment and intervention efforts." (November 2010)
- Dr. Natalie Rocke Henderson: "Responding to growing concerns about school bullying, Dr. Rocke Henderson investigated the processes underlying children's willingness to intervene when they witness bullying. Bystander intervention was more likely for friends than nonfriends but especially when their anger was aroused. This new understanding of bystander motivation will contribute to the design and implementation of new bullying prevention efforts." (May 2010)
