Kaitlin O'Neill
Kaitlin M. O’Neill is a doctoral student in the University of Kentucky’s Special Education Leadership Personnel Preparation Program and is a current LEND (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities) trainee. She is currently working towards completing the requirements to obtain her certification as a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA). She has a master’s degree in Special Education for Moderate and Severe Disabilities from the University of Kentucky and holds a Rank 2 KMSS Kentucky Educator License Teaching Certification for Teaching Exceptional Children, Moderate and Severe Disabilities, grades primary through twelve. Kaitlin’s primary area of research involves improving the efficiency of established, effective, evidence-based systematic instructional procedures for teaching students with moderate to severe disabilities; this research involves determining whether different procedural variations in implementation yield differential efficiency measures (e.g., percentage of student errors, number of sessions to reach mastery, amount of instructional time, extent of generalization, extent of maintenance).
