Her research in early mathematics is concerned with testing interventions that address both the mathematical and cognitive difficulties of young children at high risk for developing disabilities in mathematics and with understanding sources of risk for complex learning disabilities involving difficulties in both early math and reading.
Her research has received federal funding from the Institute of Education Sciences, the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. She is the author of many peer-reviewed papers and book chapters and co-authored a widely-used book on learning disability identification, assessment, and intervention.
