Faculty
Bonnie Klein-Tasman, Ph.D
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. I am also the director of the Child Neurodevelopment Research Lab.
I completed my Ph.D. in Psychology at Emory University, with specializations in Clinical Psychology and Cognition & Development, and completed an internship in Child Clinical Psychology as well as post-doctoral training in Pediatric Neuropsychology at the University of Chicago, Department of Psychiatry. As director of the UWM Child Neurodevelopment Research Lab, my research focuses on the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral characteristics of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. I have published research about the cognitive, adaptive, and personality characteristics of children with Williams syndrome and about the use of the ADOS, an empirically validated assessment measure for the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders. Current research projects include examination of the socio-communicative difficulties of young children with Williams syndrome, the emotional regulation abilities of both young children and older children and adolescents with developmental disabilities, and the study of brain-behavior relations in young children with autism spectrum disorders.
