Behavioral Therapist Joins Special Education Faculty
Elizabeth R. Lorah, an assistant professor of special education, joined the faculty of the College of Education and Health Professions at the University of Arkansas this fall.
Lorah received a doctorate in educational psychology from Temple University, where she worked as adjunct professor before coming to Arkansas. She also formerly worked as clinical director of Gamut Early Intervention Services in Montgomery and Bucks counties, Pa. She is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
Her primary research interests involve developing and validating evidence-based ways to improve the educational and behavioral services for individuals with disabilities, particularly autism. She taught courses in behavior management, behavior analysis and educating learners with autism spectrum disorders in the psychology and special education departments of Temple and Holy Family University.
The College of Education and Health Professions recently began offering a Graduate Certificate in Applied Behavior Therapy in which Lorah is teaching as well as in the special education degree programs.
