He has written more than 300 professional papers in the early intervention field, has served on editorial boards of more than 20 professional journals, has been the principal investigator of grants totaling more than $50 million and has been recognized with distinguished career awards on three separate occasions.

His primary research interests include intervention for young children with early onset conduct disorders, remediation of social behavior deficits in young children with autism, design and delivery of community-based, comprehensive early intervention for children with autism, and analysis of individual and systemic variables affecting the adoption and sustained use of evidence-based practices for children with severe behavior disorders.
