Research Interests
My research interests are in applied behavior analysis and early childhood education and intervention for children with autism, mental retardation, Down syndrome and without developmental disabilities. Specifically, I am interested in the assessment and treatment of inappropriate behavior (e.g., aggression, property destruction, self-injury, stereotypy, noncompliance) and evaluation of procedures to increase appropriate behavior (e.g., language and communication skills, social interaction skills, self-help skills, academic skills).
Students interested in pursuing applied research careers in behavior analysis and/or early childhood education are encouraged to contact Dr. Dozier via e-mail.
Service and Professional Interests
I have been a member of the Association for Behavior Analysis (ABA) and the Florida Association for Behavior Analysis (FABA) since 1997. I have served as a guest editor for the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, Exceptional Children, Teaching of Psychology, Journal of Autism and Developmental Disabilities, and Behavior Analysis in Practice. I am the past assistant editor of Self-Injury Abstracts and Reviews.
