Grace Iarocci

Grace Iarocci is Professor of Psychology aand the Director of the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Lab. Work in her lab is founded on the idea that atypical and typical development can be understood better when they are studied together -That is, there are more commonalities than differences and the differences can help us understand how atypical development uniquely affects development but also the limits and potential variations on typical development. Her research spans from basic processes to family quality of life and the impact of social issues on disability. She is also interested in the effects of developmental disabilities on parental and family health and well-being. Dr. Iarocci is a registered psychologist whose practice focuses on developmental disabilities, diagnosis, assessment and treatment.
